From Page to Post: Archiving Creative Voices

About

Join us for a panel discussion where we’ll explore and examine how creatives archive their stories—from zines and books to social media. Led by experts including Zoe Thompson (founder of Sweet Thang Zine) and archival artist, community and organisational poet Pauline Rutter, we'll cover:

* What it means to leave a creative legacy
* How to archive your work intentionally
* Who gets to be remembered—and who decides?
* The importance of grassroots movements in documenting underground and underrepresented cultures
* Thinking about social media as a lasting digital archive

As part of Youth Takeover at Phoenix Art Space, this event, in collaboration with Lighthouse, is hosted and curated by Fez Sibanda and Elsa Monteith, members of Lighthouse’s Future Creative Leaders cohort 2024.

Lighthouse Young Creatives alumni Maia will be playing a DJ set to soundtrack the evening.
