Archive Fevers: Did the Fire Read the Stories It Burnt?

Institutional archives and museums’ entanglements with empire and processes of spoliation have elicited a number of reckonings. Calls to rethink, reimagine, repurpose or re-interpret objects kept in hold proliferate. This screening and discussion proposes a critical, materialist approach to this moment, looking specifically at moving images and the ongoing legacies of imperial collection.

Open to all Tufts students, faculty and staff.

Archive Fevers: Editing with found footage

Non-fiction cinema in recent years has been marked by trafficking in colonial archives, in the form of film, photographs, folders, documents, often to be interrogated, mined, repurposed. Focusing on moving image archives, this workshop is a practical approach to the ethics, limits and possibilities of editing with and against found footage. No experience required.

Open to all Tufts students, faculty and staff.
