Fugitive Archives is a curatorial project that critically examines the role of artist-led, community-based, and independent archives as transformative tools for collective organising and knowledge production.
otherwise or elsewhere unfolds through eight distinct artist projects in dialogue with the Pagbasa Archive Reading Room. Here, the fraught, the imaginary, the inaccurate, the goofy, the hidden, the desired, the forgotten, the livid, the horny, the detached, and the nostalgic emerge as fragments within each artist’s practice—drawing out the complex and ambivalent relationship between artist and archive.
