AD Issue 46
The power of the archive: teaching through memory and material.
'Archives ask whose voices are heard, and whose contributions were missing. They ask what actions are needed to close the equity gaps, and how can we make the changes we want to see. Archives shape our understanding of the past; they must also inform how we act in the present and future. These questions are for us all, and this issue is filled with ways that art educators today are using archives – personal or public – to help challenge and advance education.'
- Editorial, Sophie Leach
