About the Chicago Archives + Artists Festival
Join Sixty Inches From Center for the 2024 Chicago Archives + Artists Festival! This year’s festival embraces the theme of embodiment. Throughout this 3-day gathering, we’ll explore the ways archivists and artists preserve the legacies of our communities via talks, performances, music, and workshops.
We will have our usual festival offerings, including our Archive Roll Call, an artist-designed Photo Booth (hosted by artist and Sixty Visuals Editor Ireashia M. Bennett), and a series of archive digs and unfurlings—a term and format we’re borrowing from Never The Same’s 2013 project Unfurling: Five Explorations in Art, Activism, and Archiving. This will also be a continued celebration of our recently-released book Case Studies in Collaboration, published by For the Birds Trapped in Airports.
The space will be adorned with a site-specific installation by artist and Sixty contributor Natalia Villanueva Linares, and with a new mural by artist and Sixty Collective Co-Lead Katia Perez Fuentes. We will close out the night with our usual Festival Wind Down featuring BAILAR Y LLORAR 🎭 (a.k.a. DJ Jungyal & Light of Your Vida).
This year’s festival is co-curated by Kate Hadley Toftness, Tempestt Hazel, and Christina Nafziger.
The Chicago Archives + Artists Festival is generously supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art and Teiger Foundation. This festival is also part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art that highlights the city’s artistic heritage and creative communities.
