Rewind
PROJECT
July–December 2020
The temporary closure has been an opportunity for the Foundation to reactivate its archive. Over the past 35 years, FAR has presented numerous conferences, workshops, seminars, and publications, inviting experts from different fields: contemporary art, textile history, anthropology, literature, and corporate culture. Our Rewind project aims to spread and share this extraordinary resource. The materials selected range across different disciplines and time periods, offering a new perspective on themes and ideas that are still relevant today.
Looking back, re-hearing and re-learning become strategies to move forward, activating the archive as a fundamental tool to imagine ourselves in the future.
