Archiving as Strategy Towards Change in the Present

What potential can archiving offer for localised political action? This discussion event will include presentations from Rosa Vilbr, Managing Director of On the Record, a not-for-profit cooperative running oral history projects, and Stefan Dickers, Library and Archives Manager at Bishopsgate Institute, which is home to archives of radical, social, labour, feminist and gay history in London.

This event forms part of This is Not a Gateway, an annual festival of critical projects and ideas relating to cities, held a short distance from OSE at Bishopsgate Institute. It forms part of a new project by former OSE Associate Jonathan Hoskins that will be realised over the coming months with OSE, exploring ‘archiving as strategy’.
