Unfixed Archives investigates how archivists and artists work with and preserve performance. The show investigates performance archiving through a series of interviews, studio and site visits with artists and performance archives from across the UK and Europe.
Presented and Produced by Curator Sophie Barrett-Pouleau, Unfixed Archives brings together different methodologies of performance archiving and hears from multidisciplinary artists themselves about how they explore and enact elements of archiving through performance (sound & music, performance art, contemporary dance) and how performative archives operate, preserve and activate.
