Archive

The archive is not a neutral place. It is made up of materials that were chosen to be preserved. The materials presented here are part of the archive of the creative child. This archive comprises materials mainly produced in Europe and North America from the end of the eighteenth century to the Post-World War II. The creative child is fabricated within these discursive formations. This archive is part of the colonialities of arts education. The archive defines the limits and the (im)possibilities of what can be said. Working with and against the materials of this archive is embedded in the contradiction of these (im)possibilities.
