The Archive of Potential(Goan) Futures explores the evolving role of archives beyond mere preservation, positioning them as active spaces for dialogue that shape and interrogate potential futures. Inspired by Jacques Derrida's Archive Fever, the exhibition examines the tension between safeguarding historical narratives and fostering new discoveries. It features contemporary archival practices in Goa, including diverse local initiatives and individual artists using photography. These projects emphasise public interaction, reinterpretation, and the dynamic potential of archives to influence community futures. By treating archives as living entities, the exhibition underscores their significance in defining cultural trajectories and realising the full impact of today’s documentary efforts in tomorrow’s contexts.
