Programming
Our programming consists of outreach networks thatinclude virtual and in-person activations of ARCHIVO, which allow for continuity,discoverability, and the ability to share the benefits of the digital archiveas a resource and tool for the community interested in Latin American visualartists, Indigenous artists from the Latin American region, Latin-Caribbeanartists, and those who identify as Latinx artists of the diaspora in Canada.
Partnerships
ARCHIVO held a partner relationship with The Coop HENHangouts program led by HemisphericEncounters. The virtual gathering consistedof an artist talk by artists soJin Chun (Toronto) and Edrimael Delgado (PuertoRico). The hangout allowed both artists to share their interdisciplinary experiences while developing community-engaging projects with the Global South and the Caribbean.
Workshops
The ARCHIVO Researcher/Archivist led various workshops to speak about how the archive can enhance student engagement with diasporic art and how this resource can facilitate student and scholarly research. Luz Sierra was an invited guest speaker at York University’s graduate course seminar “Museums and Galleries” as well as at OCAD University’s graduate studies course “Archive and Memory” and its undergraduate “Latin American Art” course.
