Archives in Dispute: Two Generations, Two Perspectives
Open PEI by Abigail Galindo Soto and Dany Barrientos Ramírez
During their presentation at Independent Studies Programme (PEI), Abigail Galindo Soto and Dany Barrientos Ramírez will share their experiences and the working methodologies associated with the Archivo Honduras Cuir, a project unique in Central America to preserve and activate memories of sexual dissidences.
The Archivo Honduras Cuir was set up as a precarious collective archive, but has cemented a position as a critical, pedagogical platform. It brings together photographs, fanzines, objects and narratives marginalised by the regimes of official history, and is deployed in workshops, publications, exhibitions and interventions that work as memory technologies. Its aim is not only to conserve, but also to produce situated knowledge from the Global South, and suggest queer, decolonial methodologies to reconfigure the archive as a space for resistance and collective creativity.
