The project Archiving Queerfeminist Futures takes its inspiration from the BIW*oC feminist idea of the kitchen table representing a central, intimate, and meaningful gathering place where solidarity-based experimental spaces are created, lived experiences are valued, community and consciousness-raising processes are shaped, and investments are made in collective knowledge and resistance education.

This framework serves as an occasion for activists, contemporary witnesses, and archival experts to discuss the archiving of marginalized lives and movement histories as well as practices and methods of an intersectional archival practice founded in a critique of racism. The ‘Transformative Archives’ that are created in the process do not merely presuppose a power-critical practice; they also strive to protect the agency of those whose experiences, histories, and memories are documented while ensuring that archiving processes do not lead to new forms of exclusion.

With Prof. Dr. Fatima El-Tayeb, Katja Kinder, Ouassima Laabich, Nicola Lauré al-Samarai, and others.
