Since last year May, Roodkapje builds (their) anarchief (or anarchive in English). Roodkapje’s anarchief consists of anarchival pieces that evolve 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 and a proposition to explore the ways in which the full sensorial experience of lived life can be included. We hear some of the silences left in conventional archiving practices and aim to 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.

To develop this anarchive’s visual language and house style, we are working with artist and designer Iris Velzen.
