An International Symposium, which examines the importance of archiving for cultural validation and development

Memory – Art – Power brings together five leading cultural practitioners who are involved in the field of archiving to explore some of the fundamental questions around memory building.

This symposium looks at how archiving can act as a catalyst in the creation of new forms of production; and furthermore how archive can help us give value to cultural events which have no obvious ‘outputs’ or which have historically been ignored in favour of more mainstream activities.

This event is free, but booking is recommended. It takes place at Dublin City Library and Archive, 138-144 Pearse Street, Dublin 2 on Thursday 19th October from 10.30am – 5pm. Doors open at 10am.
