Praxis of Praxis: Collaborative Art Archiving, Going Beyond an Imagined Community Toward a Community in Process

This chapter explores the concept of “communality” and its meaning for archives of everyday life. It discusses recent theoretical discussions surrounding Archive 2.0 as a new paradigm of participation that puts users at the center. The chapter analyses cases of applying archives that produce everyday creative subjects, using archives and theories practiced in contemporary art as its core.
