Vancouver Independent
Archives Week

Recollective


Recollective: Vancouver Independent Archives Week (2018-2021) was a series of free public events, panels, conversations, and screenings that highlighted artist-run centre archives, artists working with archives, and the intersections between contemporary art practices and social movements in Vancouver and beyond.

In its later years of programming, Recollective hosted and commissioned a series of national and international presenters and respondents to examine these issues in a range of global contexts.
