From the Margins to the Institutions: Which Paths? – Discussion

“To live with a history means not only to live with the memory of our own lives, but also with that of others—people we have never met, but whose voices and actions connect us to our collective existence,” writes Joan Nestle, founder of the Lesbian Herstory Archives.

What happens when these archives are exhibited and preserved within institutions? How can they be presented without losing their political and transformative power?

With Pascal Beausse, Damarice Amao, and Antoine Idier
