ARCHIVE

For the third gathering of I will meet you here, we will read Julietta Singh’s ‘No Archive Will Restore You’.

Can a public space be read as an archive? The footsteps, conversations, moments of rest and action. Congregating in one place in an ever changing documenting of history.

This gathering will include group reading and a practical exploration of the site. We will be using a series of instruments and objects to work with space, so if you would like to bring anything along, please do.

Refreshments will be provided.

Please wear suitable clothing and footwear as we will be walking and outside for the duration of the session.
