About the Exhibition
Accent Sisters is pleased to present Archive Fever, a group exhibition featuring works that engage, diversify, and challenge the notion of archive.
Taking its title from Jacques Derrida’s Archive Fever: A Freudian Impression, this group exhibition considers the archive not as a static repository of the past but as an active, unstable site of power, memory, and desire. From traditional archives—bound up with authority and hierarchical structures—to modern counter-archives that reframe narratives and subvert these structures, Archive Fever explores what is remembered, what is effaced, and the tension between preservation and erasure.
The participating artists engage archives as material and metaphor—deconstructing and reassembling them to produce spectral effects that unsettle dominant narratives and open new pathways into racial, political, cultural, colonial, geographical, and spiritual imaginaries.
