Open forum on archival practices: ‘Filling the Gaps #0'

With the open forum Filling the Gaps #0, argos is launching an essential exploration of archival practices and the dynamics that shape them. Inspecting the notion of “gaps” in archives by looking at artists and artworks that have been highlighted or excluded, overshadowed and forgotten, we aim to uncover new ways of understanding cultural memory and identity. Seven guest speakers encourage us to view these gaps as spaces for fresh perspectives and untold stories. A special film screening curated by the speakers rounds up the day.

With Ernst van Alphen (editor Productive Archiving), Geerd De Ceulaerde (University of Antwerp), Mariya Nikiforova (Light Cone, Paris), Joachim Ben Yakoub & Mustapha Bentaleb (www.firstwaves.be), Charbel Alkhoury (Arab Image Foundation, Tashattot collective), Charlotte Procter (LUX, London).
