The Archive opens during February to launch this year's new The Remote Archivist with an archive presentation in the library of de Appel. The presentation derives from an audio reel from the Works and Words archive, an international art manifestation organised from 20-30 September 1979 by de Appel: a recording of a lecture that Annosh Urbanke was able to attribute to Marko PogaÄŤnik.

The sessions will trace the evolution of Tatreez from early village customs to its role as a medium of political expression among Palestinian women who advanced community leadership initiatives during the Intifada. The workshop will also address current practices, digital preservation, and the symbolism of Tatreez as an embodiment of love and resilience, carrying forward Palestinian women’s matriarchal insistence on memory.

de Appel is welcoming proposals for the upcoming summer edition of its market Kiosk.

The collaborative project The Broken Pitcher by Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Marina Christodoulidou and Peter Eramian traces the effects of financialisation and austerity by looking at the banking system and the potentials for changing the script of interacting with it. At de Appel the project takes a multi-fold formation: a one-to-one scale model of a bank room that functions both as an exhibition space and a film set.

Free Palestine
For this edition of Archive in Residence, de Appel has invited Reading Vigil for Free Palestine (RVFP), to embark on a journey of collective archiving and reflecting. This has resulted in an (unwilling) archive of audio recordings and the full collection of books read so far.
