In conjunction with the 5th SIPF theme The Archive, students will learn about how archival methods have developed over the years. Through recordings of their surroundings, students collage found objects around them and explore effective archiving techniques.
The archive can be developed in the form of a zine or website. A physical archive could also be produced in the form of an archive box.
