Safdar and Daniella recently completed a residency at Frontyard in Marrickville, Sydney to fossick through its library. The library is a treasure trove of books and ephemera from the Australia Arts Council that would have been abandoned had it not been rescued by Frontyard.
The two researchers spent some days going through the library and many boxes of pamphlets and catalogues, documenting material relevant to this project on migration and diaspora in the Transpacific. Keep an eye out on this site and associated socials for updates on some of this material!
Meanwhile, Safdar has made this fantastic comic about the residency and the experience of archival treasure hunts. Enjoy! A separate link to the comic can be found here on Safdar’s medium page.
