Artist Talk
Melissa J Nelson
Archives are known to be sites of memory that reflect the conscious practice of selection, exclusion, and memorialization. What if we saw archival research as deep encounters, weaving together the scraps of the Archives to bridge the gaps between what has been saved and what else could have been? What if we transmuted our pain of invisibility into purpose?
​
In this talk, Archivist Melissa J. Nelson will discuss the practice of “Archival Alchemy.” Coined by Archivist and Artist Joyce LeeAnn Joseph (@archv_alchemy) — this is the transformative use of archives to convert narratives of pain and loss into sources of empowerment and liberation. Black artistic creation can confront the machinery of the Archives to surface Black livingness and architect liberation.
