Saluhan Collective and Next Wave present Honk! If you archive…, an art bus tour for artists, archivists, and their allies, co-curated with The Great Book Return. Crossing both sides of the Birrarung, the ride blends curated snacks and bootleg bus games with exhibitions and curator talks at every stop.
Extending Fugitive Archives—an exhibition series curated by MJ Flamiano and Catherine Ortega-Sandow—this program examines how community-led archives come into dialectical tension with institutional archives. It also considers how artist-led initiatives can serve as transformative tools for collective organising and knowledge production.
The tour begins at RMIT City Campus, continues to MADA Gallery for Fugitive Archives: A spoken future, and concludes at Dukkana in Coburg for Fugitive Archives: The future is here, there, and everywhere, curated by Anna Emina and Celine Saoud. The evening ends with the exhibition opening, featuring a special activation by Majed Fayad.
Pack your primary sources and get ready to honk—because the archive is on the move.
This program is part of ‘Archives are Hot! Artists in the Archive’ – a two-day program of workshops, talks and activations created by Next Wave in collaboration with CAST, Saluhan Collective and An.Other Collective.
