What does embodiment in archives and art mean? The theme of EMBODIMENT will guide this year's Chicago Archives + Artists Festival, exploring memory keeping, storytelling, and the ways archivists + artists work their magic to preserve the legacies of their communities and their own work.

The CHICAGO ARCHIVES + ARTISTS FESTIVAL will be from August 2nd–4th, 2024 at Experimental Station! Visit their website to sign up to the CA+AP newsletter for updates as they announce the full line up of speakers and events!

The Chicago Archives + Artists Festival is part of Art Design Chicago, a citywide collaboration initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art that highlights the city’s artistic heritage and creative communities. The Chicago Archives + Artists Festival is funded by Terra Foundation for American Art and Teiger Foundation.
