Synopsis

Though every archive may begin with a desire to remember, this exhibition reflects on the process and practice of archiving, and its afterlife. Five artists from LASALLE College of the Arts contemplate how their desires and perspectives affect the archives they choose to keep. This exhibition is motivated by the human tendency to record�not only to hold on to individual memories, but to open new pathways for care to emerge.
