The Mythologies/Methodologies live-stream series concludes with a roundtable gathering, which brings together our presenters of the last three weeks, including Giulia Damiani, Chandra Frank and Ros Murray, for a discussion on performance-based archival research methodologies and their role in (re-)activating collective strategies now. The conversation is moderated by art history scholar Elize Mazadiego whose work on “urban folklore” in the Argentinian context opens up to the global trajectories tracked variously by Damiani, Frank and Murray. In particular, this last session is intended to bring into focus the intersections of feminist and anti-imperialist/anti-racist struggles, which were operative across the geographies explored throughout the series—and are still very much operative today.
