The what and the why of the Anarchive
-Our "anarchive" can be defined in many ways. An autonomous place for the Relearn community to dialogue without words. As the traces of our collective thinking-out-loud. A collective warm up exercise familiar to the materialities of the everyday group chat. A clutter of information that is not the documentation of a past activity but of something that evokes the not yet known. An unhierarchical accumulation of images, documents and links to spark the tracks that perhaps will run through Relearn.
+ +In the run up to July, we open up a shared digital space, as a low-tech hangout and a convivial mode of archiving. Analogous to the Relearn practice of archiving collective outputs without a focus on specific outcomes, this is our approach: the Relearn "anarchive".

How does it work?
The anarchive can be experienced as a group chat: it is open for anyone to join, without registration and accessible through a regular web browser. It is a place to meet other relearners and share thoughts, images, PDFs, texts etc.
