The Feminist before the Archive

This lecture examines the feminist archive as both a site of erasure and a space of potential re-inscription. It also explores the position of the feminist before the archive, as an agent of disruption and complication of received categories and historical narratives. What counts as an archive, and who decides what is worth keeping, after all? Through examples from art, performance, and collective projects, we will look at how feminist practices rethink the archive as a living, creative space where memory and imagination meet. Rather than a static collection of documents, the feminist archive becomes a way to resist exclusion, to care for forgotten voices, and to build shared histories for the future.
