Festival - Preservation of Record | McNally Jackson Books

The first McNally Jackson Festival brings together 40 thinkers across 5 weeks, around one topic: The archive. At the heart of these events are questions of power and subjectivity. Preservation is interdisciplinary, intersectional and endlessly complex. We will discuss over 18 events. Come join us.
