THE::SENSE::ARCHIVE
A collaboration with Ava Shirazi (Haverford) that embraces a speculative archival mode where scholarship, art, and community engagement meet. Through relationships with artists and designers, hosting artist-led workshops, and artist-scholar incubators, we explore the sensory potential of art. In doing so, we experiment collective forms of theorization and embodied excavations of “the archival” as intimate potential for rearranging contemporary experience itself.
