KvinnSamSem: Archival excavations, active archiving and archivism

Listen to Helene Larsson Pousette as she talks about her work with archives. Over a period of two months, she has worked with material from KvinnSam’s archives, where she has searched for predecessors linked to several of the archival projects she is currently engaged in.

In 2021, she initiated ARKIVISM at Kvinnohistoriska in Stockholm, an initiative that resulted in a handbook on how to navigate archives and archive oneself, which has since been incorporated into teaching within a university network in the United States.

In this presentation, she will discuss the significance of archives and how the material found within them can be presented.
