A contextualizing archive for ancestral, intuitive, and subjective memory-keeping. Consisting of material, written, visual, and sonic ephemera this archive is oriented by our intuitive pedagogy and interdependent research development. Thesis collections and exhibitions are regularly produced to concentrate the archive’s scope and engage in re-membering as a social practice.
