Archive Project is traveling to Saxapahaw from the San Francisco Bay Area to display its collection of books sourced from the personal libraries of leading arts and cultural figures. The books in the collection are identified by the contributor with a handwritten note, or Ex Libris, as a point of inspiration or significant to a pivotal moment in their creative practice. In addition, Archive Project will collaborate with Culture Mill to present a series of films selected by nine arts professionals living in Saxapahaw. These films will be projected along side of the book collection and will be on display at the Culture Mill Lab until Saturday, August 15.
Saturday, August 8 at 8:15 PM, Culture Mill will launch its site-specific performance series, Trust the Bus. The bus will depart from The Saxapahaw General Store. Once aboard the 44-seat blue bird bus, members of Culture Mill will invite riders to consider the imaginary and infinite archives in libraries and memories. Inspired by concepts of the Archive Project, this interactive experience will draw from various sources. Trust the Bus performances are free and open to the public. Seats are limited and available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Email info@culturemill.org to reserve your seat(s).
