The Most Documented War: Enacting Archives

27.01.2025
Jobs and Calls

What are the intermediate results of the intensive documentation? What goals do people and organizations involved in documentation and archiving pursue, and what impact do they strive to achieve? How can we make existing archives visible and bring them into action? What is the archive of an ongoing war? How do archives reinforce or undermine knowledge production practices? What is the desired future of the community materials of the "most documented war"? How can we overcome our fatigue and remain motivated to document and archive on the way to such a future? How can archives of extraordinary events and borderline experiences from different geographies and time periods help us?

We invite you to join the discussion of these and related topics during the third annual symposium "The Most Documented War: Enacting Archives" to be held on 22–24 May in Lviv.
