In 2020, Lia Brozegal wrote about the “anarchive” and its productive insistence on listening to and making visible a violent past beyond, and against the grain of, official archives. In this workshop, participants will be guided through questions surrounding archiving by focusing on a collection of recently digitized Palestinian solidarity reels for viewing. We will explore themes and terms such as the "imperfect archive," how we understand narratives from an archive, and how we learn to let archives speak for themselves rather than imposing narratives upon them.
