Sobremesa: Archiving Performance, Performing Archives

What is a performance archive? What are its limits if any of a movement-based, time-based archive? What do we at The Kitchen think of as a performance archive? What are the series guests’ definitions of a performance archive, and the infrastructures and value systems within? How do we capture, discuss, debate the nuances of ephemeral experience that are so essential to the form of performance, in the context of the archive?

A three-part radio series broadcast on Montez Press Radio and co-presented by The Kitchen across June, July, and September 2023 moderated by Alex Waterman, Archivist, The Kitchen and Angelique Rosales Salgado, Curatorial Assistant, The Kitchen with invited guests to open up conversation about the theme of Archiving Performance.

This radio series is organized as part of The Kitchen x Montez Press Radio's 12-month Residency.
