Creating New Knowledge

Sixty Inches From Center

What do you do when the archive you need for your research does not exist? What if you have the materials, but no archival "training" to speak of and only the passion to preserve a story? Or to preserve a community? The panel Creating New Knowledge, will include curators, artists, and scholars who have taken the work of archive-building into their own hands and the projects, exhibitions, and initiatives that have emerged from their work and research. Featuring Meg Duguid (Artist, <A HREF="http://www.thevisualist.org" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Visualist</A>, Curator at <A HREF="https://students.colum.edu/deps/index.php" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Columbia College Chicago</A>), Angela Ford (<A HREF="https://www.thisistagfoundation.com" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">TAG Foundation</A>/<A HREF="https://www.theobsidiancollection.org" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Obsidian Collection</A>), Ivan Lozano and Gonzalo Reyes Rodriguez (<A HREF="http://www.thevisualist.org/2018/06/archives-futures-queer/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Archives + Futures Podcast</A>), Dr. Amy Mooney (<A HREF="https://www.artdesignchicago.org/programs/say-it-with-pictures-then-and-now-chicago-s-african-american-photographers-1890-1930" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Say It In Pictures</A>) and Michal Raz Russo (<A HREF="https://www.artdesignchicago.org/programs/never-a-lovely-so-real-photography-and-film-in-chicago-1950-1980" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Never a Lovely So Real</A>).
