Green Archiving: Imaginaries of Archival Futures | Valiz

Green Archiving: Imaginaries of Archival Futures is being compiled by Annet Dekker in collaboration with Valiz. The publication and accompanying website address necessary questions about the increasing use of technology in archival practices and offer alternatives. Through essays, interviews and design speculations, Dekker and Valiz explore how archives are not only means of preserving the past, but can also become active forces in shaping an ecologically and justly responsible future. The project combines insights from archival studies, design disciplines, the arts, ecocriticism, and feminist and decolonial theories, and translates them into concrete alternatives to existing institutional models.
