Since its creation in 1947, the Festival d’Avignon has produced a multitude of traces: programmes, posters, correspondence, administrative archives and creative documents. Over the past thirty years, these traces have undergone profound changes. Alongside digitised archives, natively digital materials have emerged: emails, websites, social media, video recordings, photographs, databases and the hard drives of artists and institutions. This unprecedented body of material raises new questions about the collection, preservation and analysis of contemporary archives.
Open to all, this symposium will alternate between round tables bringing together researchers, curators and representatives of cultural institutions, conversations with artists, presentations of research projects and plenary lectures.
