The workshop “The Archive and I” aims to expand ideas around the archive, the limits, potential, and look at an archive as a departure point in one’s practice. The workshop is split into 2 sections, where an artist talk will cover contemporary modes of activating archives, including examples from contemporary artists and why they choose to use archives in the form of photographs, found film footage, and documents and texts to support their work. The latter part of the workshop will include a hands-on session with participants to build an archive as well as link the images from the collective pool of images into various self-driven narratives to make a body of work, to realize and construct possibilities from the archive itself. The workshop looks to view an archive as a means of not only preserving the past but also about modes of sharing the common.

工作坊《The Archive and I》希望拓展檔案（Archive）的概念、界限，以及潛能，並將檔案視為實踐的起點。工作坊分為兩部分，首先藝術家將分享檔案的現今應用模式，包括以當代藝術家為例，探討他們為何決定使用照片、尋獲片段、文件和文本等等的檔案來支持他們的作品。而工作坊的後半段中，參加者將動手建立檔案、以及連結集體的影像，創造自己的敍述和建立作品，全因檔案而得以實現。這個工作坊嘗試將檔案不只是看待成過往的紀錄，更是一種分享共同點的模式。
