Become an XR Archivist!

We are a new team looking to create an archive that preserves and makes accessible the movement's diverse stories, documents, and institutional knowledge.

We see this work in three parts:

  • Document Library - We are the world's largest self organising organism, we have done some powerful things through our time. But how were decisions made, what ideas were played with and discarded. What are our learnings from XR and what will be our legacy in the history of social movements?
  • Our Histories - The stories of movements like ours are only ever told by those who were there. Through written, spoken, visual storytelling we hope to capture the diversity of experiences we have had in XR
  • Art Collection - Central to our XR identities are the art pieces we have created. Digital, physical, audio, our posters, flyers, sculptures, structures, icons, our image is our story! How is this preserved and available for exhibition?
