The Expanded Archives Network connects freelance and institution-based archivists, curators and other memory workers through a shared interest in artists’ archives and futures. EAN seeks to foster a cross-cultural network for resource sharing and innovation in the expanded field of artists’ archives.
The Network is a collaboration between Art360 Foundation and Hauser & Wirth Institute.

In Relation : Power and Presence in Archives, Spring 2022
An Art360 x Hauser & Wirth Institute event, exploring relationships within archives created by both individuals and institutions.

Speakers: Topher Campbell (Rukus! Black LGBTQ+ Archive), Lisa Darms (Hauser & Wirth Institute) Dominique Luster (Archivist), Ellie Porter (Art360), Erika Tan (Artist)
