Central Park Archives: Access, commons and networks of care

Gathering for Rehearsing Hospitalities Spring 2021, online conversation 3

M-cult hosts an event with artists, researchers and activists to discuss notions of access within contexts of urban spaces and online resources. How to think about care, commoning and governance in these hybrid networks of social, ecological and digital?


The event includes short thematic tours of the archive’s initial collections by m-cult (Minna Tarkka and Iida Nissinen), an unmoderated conversation between its artists Ali Akbar Mehta and Susanna Ånäs, and a moderated conversation with Annet Dekker.


Online conversation (Zoom) hosted by m-cult.
