Kiss My Archive is a performance by a multi-generational team of womxn theatre artists.
A response to the research project
'Staging Australian Womxn's Lives', this work is a collaborative act of performative archiving. It is a holding space for revisiting and displaying
our collections and asking how we may pass these on to the future theatre artists who identify as womxn - in the most inclusive sense. So many stories have been shared: some stirring joy, others, rage, and many, genuine nostalgia. From all of this we have made a work which we see as an offering to makers and mentors who have gone before. We celebrate the communities and spaces that have been carved out by trailblazers and by the quieter voices too.
We are here.
