Come As You Are to... Handle with Care looks at artworks that explore how artists interact with archival materials. How do we respond when we encounter texts, photographs, and other forms of media from a different time and space? Through in-gallery conversations and light activities, we'll reflect on how types of archival materials and our interactions with them shape our retelling of histories – public or personal.
