Our channels will converge
A cultural magazine remixing archival items
Archives Die is a pursuit towards knowledge production by embracing culture and looking at history. architecture, and art.
In dialogue with Statues Also Die, 1953, this annually published magazine is a call to dismantle the structures that claim to preserve culture while often erasing its living, breathing essence. The magazine will be published annually, but on Substack you can expect weekly reflections on filmmaking methods, research essays on cultural touchpoints, and poetry exploring form.
Remixing archival items is our sole focus.
We produce new knowledge.
We create audiovisual works and publish essays.
We research the intersections of culture, community, experience, and technology.
"The Archives Also Die" is both a rejection and an invitation—a rejection of institutions that position themselves as sole gatekeepers of knowledge, and an invitation to carve new paths, remixing what already exists into forms that speak to now.
Knowledge is not sealed away in drawers or databases.
It is in the food we share, the music we love, the tech we build, the stories we pass down.
To decolonise knowledge production, we must first deconstruct its architecture. We take what was and remix it into what could be.
