2a Jornada Territori Arxiu - 2024
Welcome to Territori Arxiu 2024, the biennial event that focuses on everything that happens at the threshold of the Archive. Where the chronicle of the past intertwines with the epic of the present to forge a future never written.
Where documents emerge as ancestral heritage and transcend the walls of custody. In the borderland between the known and the unexplored, where the documentary record becomes the powerful foundation on which unpublished stories are built.
At Territori Arxiu we invite the unexpected explorers of the Archive. Those who tell us everything they have discovered in their particular transhumance of memory. Wandering sages who share unexpected discoveries. They are cultural activists, visual artists, collectors, writers, photographers, researchers, journalists, programmers, producers and filmmakers who, with the light of their ingenuity, come together in an epic - but everyday - story, inspired by the traces left behind in the sands of time.
In Tarragona we celebrate the periphery of the Archive as a burst of creativity. In a coastal city full of history, we discover the silent expeditions that explore the ocean of collective memory. Share this journey, where every word, every image, every gesture, becomes an act of rebellion against oblivion. Join the heroic deed of Territori Arxiu, among the foam that whitens the sea and cradles the days.
We look forward to seeing you on this contemporary adventure!
1a Jornada Territori Arxiu - 2022
Jornada Territori Arxiu
The Archive Territory Conference, organised jointly by the Port of Tarragona Archive and Arqueologia del Punt de Vista, was conceived with the intention of being held every two years to bring together those experiences that capture new ways of seeing archives. Because archives are not, or should not be, static or immovable. On the contrary, they are, or should be, changing entities able to adapt to new situations, new documents and new citizens’ demands. They should be able to satisfy all the needs that may arise and, above all, they should be able to transmit them to the society around them, highlighting at the same time their testimonial value.
Hence the name of the conference, Archive Territory, because the aim is to present and debate, where appropriate, the limits that make up archives –the changing perspectives, diversity and plural perception– to avoid unwanted exclusions.
All these aspects need to be revised and include all the new developments that help us grow as professionals and as centres that guarantee the memory and living testimony of society. The First Archive Territory Conference was held in Tarragona on 27 October 2022. It was structured in two sessions. The first, in the morning, consisted of presentations by two people intrinsically linked to the world of archives, although in different ways: Joan Boadas, Girona municipal archivist, and Susanna Muriel, an independent archivist specialising in family and photographic archives.
In the afternoon session, which was held at the Teatret del Serrallo, we were able to see and hear four experiences from Jaume Cardona, creator of La Makineta del temps and a specialist in portraits of abandoned spaces; Mario Pons, screenwriter and audiovisual producer; Jero Rodríguez and Miguel Atienza, hosts of Spanish Television’s Cachitos de Hierro y Plomo; and Shaday Larios, specialist in the theatre of documentary objects. All five are highly knowledgeable of the world of archives and they spoke to us of their experiences and their creations. The Archive Territory Conference, which had the participation of around forty professionals from different fields, ended with a performance by the Improacatomba company, specialists in improvisational theatre.
The Second Archive Territory Conference is planned for 2024

The year 2019, coinciding with International Archives Day, saw the premiere of this innovative activity in the archive world (then in presential format) co-organized with Auriga Cultural Services.

To save the archivist, a series of darxienigmas must be solved using all possible wit and imagination to overcome the challenge. The aims to offer a different proposal to bring the Archive closer to the citizens while also making known some of the spaces of the Portst Archive.
