The Finding Aid: Black Women at the Intersection of Art and Archiving is an interactive, multi-media dialogue/ panel discussion that explores the intersection of experimental art practices and community-based archiving.  The event’s organization is based on the idea of a ‘finding aid’ -a document used in archives for accessibility and discovery. We will transform a finding aid from an archival inventory/guide into an artistic archival experience.This event is meant to empowered guests to begin their own archival/artistic practice or feel moved to engage with existing archives.
