20 Seconds #09
20 Seconds is a print-only magazine for experimental music and art. It’s built by and for designers, writers and photographers who feel they’re not being challenged enough by what they’re reading and seeing.
In this issue: The Archive details the stories of individual archives all over the world. It is in the archive that we fight to reclaim histories and to act as allies to those who no longer have the means to do so, often as a result of colonial violence. It is in the archive that power balances must be destroyed and built back up again in new, more just distributions. For all our questions about how we ended up here—with multiple genocides supported and/or funded by the “democratic” West—we can find the root of that racist, xenophobic oppression and ideology in archives, historiography and museology.
