Call for SEAPAVAA 19th Conference and Symposium

SOUTH EAST ASIA-PACIFIC AUDIO VISUAL ARCHIVE ASSOCIATION (SEAPAVAA)

19th SEAPAVAA Conference 
“Advocate, Connect, Engage” 
Asian Film Archive Singapore 
22 – 28 April, 2015 

CONFERENCE CALL

The theme for the 19th SEAPAVAA Conference is “Advocate, Connect, Engage”, an increasingly important focus amongst archivists. It seeks to address a myriad of issues related to archives’ evolving relationships with their stakeholders, users and the community during the two-day Symposium on 22 and 23 April 2015.

What innovative approaches are there to establish links between archives and their stakeholders in order to develop greater, more meaningful user and audience engagement? Why do we need to do more archival advocacy and how can the capability for advocacy be strengthened? Are outreach and community engagement activities afterthoughts in archives, to be undertaken only when all the rest of the work has been done? How can these activities be integrated into the core archival functions? Should there be a re-evaluation, re-thinking, re-engineering and a shifting of emphasis in the conventional practices of archives?

In an era of promising opportunities offered by digital, web and social media technologies, how can sustainable collaborative partnerships be forged across nations, such as when they come together to facilitate the return of digitally migrated audiovisual archives and share the attendant knowledge within these cultural heritage? What fresh strategies can archivists pursue that will raise awareness and visibility on their work and elevate the profile of archival institutions?

Topics of interest for the Symposium include, but are not limited to:

  1. Archival Advocacy
  2. Re-purposing of Archives
  3. Social Media and Digital Engagement
  4. Public Programming In Archives
  5. Community Archiving
