“Podmazovanje sistema” – infrastrukturne strategije negotovih arhivov

Dogodek raziskuje odnose med neodvisnimi, manjšinskimi, aktivističnimi ali umetniškimi arhivi in institucijami, pri čemer v ospredje postavlja prakse in delo, povezano z vzpostavljanjem povezav in omogočanjem izmenjave znanja za ohranjanje in oživljanje pomembnih zbirk. Navdihnjen s strateško, igrivo in subverzivno prakso “podmazovanja sistema” mehiške umetnice in arhivistke Mónice Mayer, dogodek razmišlja o načinih infiltracije institucij, kadar je to potrebno, včasih tudi o oblikovanju partnerstev, hkrati pa ohranja kritično distanco in neodvisnost. Govorniki iz Sarajeva, Mehike in Ljubljane bodo predstavili posamezne projekte kot primerjalne študije primerov in s tem odprli širšo razpravo.

“Lubricating the System” – Infrastructural strategies of precarious archives

This event explores relations between independent, minoritarian, activist, or artivist archives and institutions, foregrounding the practices and labour involved in building connections and enabling knowledge exchange in order to preserve and animate important collections. Inspired by the Mexican artist and archivist Mónica Mayer’s strategic, playful and subversive practice of “lubricating the system”, the event considers ways of infiltrating institutions when necessary, forming partnerships at times, while also keeping critical distance and independence. Speakers from Sarajevo, Mexico City and Ljubljana will introduce individual projects as comparative case studies, opening up a broader discussion.
