Sixty Inches from Center is hosting the reimagined Chicago Archives + Artists Festival, a multi-day event that serves as a platform to promote awareness of cultural archives; share archival best practices; and foster relationships among artists, archivists, librarians, curators, and cultural producers from Chicago and the Midwest. Key goals are the empowerment of all artists to actively contribute to the cultural record to benefit Sixty’s partner archives by encouraging new donations, the fostering of collaboration among disparate archives, and the enhancement of public awareness of Chicago’s archival resources to shape an inclusive future. The project specifically engages artists and archives that bring underrepresented voices and histories to the forefront.
