Section on Archives of Literature and Art: Virtual Symposium

November 20 8:00 am November 22 12:00 pm Eastern Standard Time

The ICA’s Section on Literary and Artistic Archives (SLA) will host a free, three-day virtual symposium from November 20–22 to explore the significance of cultural archives and their role in preserving the arts.

Artists are uniquely positioned to offer social commentary, speak truth to power, and depict our shared humanity. Through this symposium, attendees will gain global perspectives on the management, preservation, and importance of literary and artistic archives. 

Discussions will include decolonizing archives, preserving endangered collections, and the role of archives in documenting conflict, gender, and nontraditional arts.  Presentations may be held in English, French, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish. You can register for this event for free here: https://libcal.uvic.ca/calendar/scua/SLA.
