New workshop!

Input Party at Preserving Practices: Taking Out the Trash

The Hmm and NADD invites the Input Party to host a workshop on the 13th of November in Amsterdam, as part of their first session Preserving Practices: Taking Out the Trash.

Artists, designers, and makers often struggle with processes of archiving their own work. This is especially true for individuals or collectives who work digitally or who have more intersectional and social practices. This session explores whether it is necessary to keep everything in the process of archiving your work.

The Input Party will host a workshop on what should you keep from that abundance of images and references that you collect in the process of making work? How can that act as a way to encapsulate a work in the archive with context?

Prior to the workshop there will be a talk from Marie Verdeil, a French designer and artist based in Brussels.

How to Archive Better: Preserving Practices is a workshop series made in collaboration between The Hmm and Network Archives Design and Digital Culture (NADD), a growing network of museums, creators, archives, designers, researchers and collectives who have combined forces to make design and digital culture archives visible, accessible and future-proof.

This four-part series encourages us to move from individual practices to collective archiving—practicing ways to support one another acts of archiving.
