Performing Archives in the Digital Present - value and impact

Thursday, September 28, 2023 - 2:00pm to 4:00pm
Outreach Room, Ioannou Centre, 66 St Giles, Oxford - and online

Hybrid pop-up workshop

Hosted by the University of Oxford’s APGRD and the University of Cape Town’s ReTAGS research project, this free workshop will focus on ideas around ‘Anecdotal and Qualitative vs. Analytics and Quantitative’, and how these relate specifically to the digital performance archive. This includes understanding the “value” of our archival materials and their digital representations, and the potential for users/digital audiences to transform them through various interventions. The aim is to create an informal, friendly, and conversational workshop - encouraging relaxed dialogue between all attendees.
