Archive is a community of practice that spans across a multitude of social and cultural contexts, in/formed by the understanding of how imaginaries and occurrences in one place can affect another. The experience of co-thinking and co-producing through sustained conversations allows us to bring multiple voices, positions and urgent issues to the forefront of each of our propositions. From its inception in Berlin ten years ago, Archive has transformed into a decentralized organization shaped by a manifold of cultural practitioners living in Berlin, Cairo, Dakar, London, Marrakech, Milan, New York, Paris, Tunis. Since 2020, our multifaceted program is articulated across three main sites – Berlin, Dakar, and Milan – also reflecting our collaborative ethos.

In Berlin, we share space with SAVVY Contemporary, a sister organization focused on nurturing new forms of imagination and practices based on sharing, co-learning, and cohabitation, moved by radical care and love.
