Bringing together communities, institutions, and practitioners to explore innovative approaches to memory, research, and collective knowledge.

At Body as Archive, we partner with community initiatives, academic institutions, cultural organizations, businesses, and changemakers seeking deeper ways of understanding people, places, and lived experiences. Through talks, workshops, exhibitions, and collaborative gatherings, we introduce participants to embodied, sensory, and participatory approaches that challenge and expand conventional understandings of research, memory, and knowledge production.

Our events highlight the value of lived experience as a source of insight, connection, and transformation. By sharing innovative methods, practical tools, and diverse perspectives, we support individuals and organizations in developing more inclusive, reflective, and human-centered ways of learning, engaging, and creating change.

EVENTS

  • Unarchiving Memory, Body and Territory

    FLACSO | ECUADOR

    An interdisciplinary space for reflection and practice situated at the intersection of anthropology, memory studies, artistic practices, and critical epistemologies of the Global South. At its core, the space proposes viewing the archive as a living practice that inhabits the skin, gestures, and silences. In this way, the body emerges as a territory of memory, a site where history leaves its mark and where forms of care, resistance, and reparation are created.

  • Embodied Archive Lab at the Galapagos

    ALAS DE LUNA | GALAPAGOS, ECUADOR
    (Upcoming)


    An open laboratory of embodied memory and collective archive-making. Through simple practices of listening, movement, and attention to the body, participants will explore how memories are carried through gestures, sensations, and everyday experiences. Together, we will engage in guided soundwalks across the Galápagos landscape, documenting the sounds of the environment and the body in motion, and create collective body maps that trace memories of care, resistance, territory, learning, and belonging. Using the Body as Archive fanzine as a tactile companion for reflection, annotation, and creative intervention, participants will contribute to a living archive composed of drawings, writings, sound recordings, and shared experiences.

  • Unarchiving D.C.

    AMERICAN POETRY MUSEUM | WASHINGTON D.C.
    (Upcoming)

    Unarchiving D.C. is an immersive workshop and public engagement experience that invites participants to explore the city as a living archive. Through storytelling, memory mapping, creative documentation, archival fragments, and collective reflection, participants examine how migration, movement, bureaucracy, and belonging shape everyday life in Washington, D.C.

  • Our Embodied Memories

    WRITERS CENTER | WASHINGTON D.C.
    (Upcoming)


    What stories live beneath the skin? In this creative writing and body mapping workshop, participants are invited to explore the body as a living archive where memories, relationships, inheritances, migrations, and acts of care leave lasting traces. Through guided writing, visual storytelling, and excerpts from the bilingual Body as Archive fanzine, participants engage with memory as both a personal and collective practice. The fanzine functions as a portable archive—part reader, part notebook, part invitation—encouraging participants to reflect, annotate, and contribute their own experiences.
