Archival Practices and Queer Histories Highlighted in Recent Exhibitions and Publications
In late 2023, Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński received the Camera Austria Award for Contemporary Photography from the City of Graz, aligning with her solo show at Kunsthalle Wien. In an interview with Michael Laundry, she explores ideas surrounding Black feminism and post-colonialism. The Latvian National Museum of Art presented 'I Remember, Therefore I Am. Women Artists’ Archives', highlighting seven female Soviet-era artists like Rita Einberga and Laima Eglīte, alongside modern artists such as Anni Puolakka. From June 20 to September 23, 2019, Karol Radziszewski's exhibition, organized by the Queer Archives Institute, took place at Berlin's Schwules Museum. At the 58th Venice Biennale, Marysia Lewandowska unveiled 'It’s About Time', and Meghan Forbes edited 'International Perspectives on Publishing Platforms,' published by Routledge in 2019.
