They discuss the significance of archiving as a practice of love and resilience, the revolutionary power of curiosity, and the importance of political friendship and collective action. The conversation highlights the need for humility and resilience in approaching archives and asking difficult questions. It also explores the transformational power of archives, the shifting nature of archives when they change location, and the role of friendship in political solidarity. The guests discuss the liberation that comes from shredding archives as a form of resistance against control and how archives can be destroyed or repurposed. They also reflect on the importance of joint struggle rather than mere solidarity and the need to challenge and critique each other in political friendships. The conversation ends with a discussion on grief, the immobility of the current moment, and the practice of sustaining oneself and others in the fight for justice.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Chapters </strong></p><p>01:27 Archiving as a Practice of Love and Resilience</p><p>03:45 The Revolutionary Power of Curiosity</p><p>07:04 Political Friendship and Collective Action</p><p>13:00 Navigating Complex Historical and Political Contexts</p><p>45:42 Shredding Archives: Liberation from Control</p><p>47:09 The Shifting Nature of Archives</p><p>54:26 Solidarity as Joint Struggle</p><p>59:38 Challenging Dominant Narratives</p><p>01:13:23 The Power of Creative Works and Music</p><p><br></p><p>*The conversation was recorded on Zoom over 3 time zones.
