Look back on Living Archives 2024
On Thursday, June 20th 2024, we hosted our annual symposium with the theme “Living Archives: a Celebration of Design and Digital Culture” at Nieuwe Instituut. The rooms were buzzing with energy as NADD partners and participants from the broader design and digital culture field took part in roundtable discussions, presentations, workshops, and live podcast sessions. If you couldn't attend or would like to revisit the day, you can now see the recordings of the talks below!

Plenary Session: Networked Archives/Archives of Networks
With the advent of Linked Open Data and collection platforms, there are new possibilities for design and digital culture heritage to be connected from disparate locations. However, the concept of network archives also refers to the social networks of people in different locations who create and care for archives. In this recording of the plenary session you'll hear how Archival Consciousness creates innovative platforms that bring webs of archival material, makers, and places together; how Archival Horizons is tracing diasporic connections through the Caribbean; and how the collective Time.iscapital is 3D mapping autonomous creative collectives whose work falls outside the realm of institutional archives.
Nos bida, Nos storia - (counter) narratives and inviting (back) our stories
Relive the live podcast recording session with NADD guest curator Gyonne Zafira, Onias Landveld (Productiehuis Wosu) and Andrea Scholz about institutional narratives and roles in the challenging processes of restitution and building relationships between communities and institutions. What is the role of ‘the community’ in restitution of colonially coded artifacts and narratives? What do we need in this relationship between ‘the community’ and ‘the institution’ that is a legacy of our colonial past and in our current neo-/or postcolonial society?
