Seven artists were selected as fellows for the Center for Documentary Studies’ virtual DocX Archive Lab, How Are We Known: Reimagining, Repurposing, and Rewriting the Archive—Jen Everett, Tatiana Garnett, Beatriz Guzman Velasquez, Arlene Mejorado, Allison Minto, Devon Vonnie Smith, and Xiaolu Wang (more information below). From September 24, 2021–May 15, 2022, the fellows will create and explore with lead and guest artists, imagining non-extractive practices by interrogating what it means to listen and hear community, and themselves; weighing their embodied and situated knowledge; and troubling matters of address and agency.
The DocX Archive Lab is a project of CDS’s DocX initiative supporting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, people of color) artists, curators, and thought leaders working across the nonfiction landscape.
