ARCHIVO: ACTIVATING LATIN AMERICAN ART ARCHIVES IN CANADA 11:30-1pm
Since 2023, Sur Gallery has hosted the ARCHIVO project, which digitally documents the contributions and trajectories of Latin American, Latin-Caribbean, and Latinx artists in Canada. ARCHIVO was born out of the need to archive a diaspora lacking resources, platforms, and forms of representation. Its approach to archiving has been grassroots-oriented and community-involved, and situates Latin American art and its artists into Canadian art history with its evolving role within the arts landscape. Two years after ARCHIVO's launch, we ask: how can we further activate this project and involve communities? What possibilities for research become available? What are the challenges and opportunities of working with archives that cross borders, languages, and hemispheres? This panel gathers researchers, archivists, and artists offering an opportunity to imagine potential futures for this project. Yasmine Espert, Francisco Fernando-Granados, and Luz Sierra. Moderated by Luisa Cruz.
LUNCH 1-2pm Food, beverages, and merch will be sold.
CO-DESIGNING THE FUTURE OF SUR GALLERY 2-4pm This workshop introduces participants to the Three Horizons Map, a tool used to imagine “ what a future Sur Gallery may and should be ”, and co-design how we may get there. Interested participants are asked to fill-out a seven-question survey prior to the workshop and come prepared with a constructive outlook on building community. All are welcome.
Facilitator: Rodrigo Barreda, MDes.
