LIVING ARCHIVE PROJECT (LAP)
LAP is a storytelling project based at PARC. Members, staff and artists in the community work together to remember the past, understand the present and dream for the future using art-based storytelling tools – writing, performance, photography and video.
People who have had contact with the psychiatric system or the (in)justice system – people who live in poverty or on the streets – often have their stories and their histories taken away from them and re-told by doctors, lawyers and cops. The Living Archive Project listens to and preserves the voices of the survivors of those systems. We think that everyone should have the right to tell their own stories in their own way.
The Living Archive Project looks to put the documents of your history as PARC members – the photos of outings and special events, the videos of camp and coffee houses – back into your hands.
