In 2024, Roodkapje begins building (their) anarchief (or anarchive in English), which is open for visitors from May onwards. Roodkapje’s anarchief consists of anarchival pieces that grow from the Happenings organized by the residents of the Hamburger Community. To start anarchiving is to break free from the archive as we know it, to refuse traditional forms of archiving and a proposition to explore the ways in which the full sensorial experience of lived life can be included. We want to pay attention to the silences left in conventional archiving practices and make space for reciprocity in collective memory and meaning making. Our anarchive will be subjective, polyvocal and unevenly shaped.

Roodkapje’s Anarchief aims to collect moments, processes and affective forces in the Happenings to craft stories about what has passed in ways that may inspire possible action in the future. Artists are invited to transform the spirit of the Happenings into anarchival pieces; artworks that suggest new beginnings, relations and ways of being. You can check out the anarchival traces from PASTE, the first Happening this year, organized by Hogus Bogus Publishing and the Hamburger Community residents Tisa World, M.C. Julie Yu, Julia Wilhelm, Repelsteeltje and Irene Cassarini. From 10 October onwards, you can listen to and see the first anarchival piece by artist Alice Strete, inspired by the second Happening A.S.M.R. [Advanced Social Manner Refusual] that took place in the end of June.
To develop this anarchive’s visual language and house style, we are working with artist and designer Iris Velzen.
