The AUNTS BARCHIVE is a public facing community-centered hub for the collection, organization, and creation of an archive for AUNTS!
Past AUNTS artists, organizers and new visitors participate in the archive by contributing materials, images, oral histories, or by witnessing. Collectively assembling an archive at our triangular sports bar in the style of Judy Chicago’s “The Dinner Party,” the BARCHIVE at LMCC’s Art Center on Governors Island will be open throughout June where visitors can visit the bar to view and participate in the archive-in-progress. Look at photos and videos from past events, attend live performances, talks, and join us for a drink at the bar.
