Join us for a Wednesday Walkthrough – a gallery tour where artists, experts, researchers and academics give short talks in their field of expertise relating to the concepts explored in our current exhibition, Your Ears Later Will Know to Listen.
This walkthrough with Ambivalent Archives will ask us to think more deeply about what it means to engage with and encounter archival material in the art gallery. What does it mean to create with, reformulate, enhance or destroy moments of history? After engaging with a series of readings, members of this visiting research network will facilitate a discussion relating to the exhibition and their broader work in critical archival theory.
Ambivalent Archives has been a CRASSH research network at the university of Cambridge since 2023. The group attends to the various affective and critical engagements with the archive which are resurgent in recent scholarship and archival practices. The name of their network reflects the many dispersed ways in which these engagements occur, whilst foregrounding their own consciously ambivalent critical position. Given that archives can exclude and obscure as much as they retain, they believe that an interdisciplinary space to explore critical attitudes of uncertainty and speculation towards the archive has become necessary.
