At this working meeting, Martien de Vletter, Associate Director, Collection, will speak about the CCA holdings that relate to the African continent and their importance as well as the publication that directly engaged with them (Fugitive Archives). She will also offer alternatives to collecting and making resources available for research, charting a shift from the custodial tradition, where archives are maintained by collecting institutions, to a model where they are retained by their creator with institutions providing support. This presentation will reflect on the experience of connection over collection and propose other ways of learning that contribute to changes in museum culture, and which will inform the CCA’s future collaborations.
