Archive Project Studio

Archiving youth culture. Through objects, people and process.

About

We built Archive Project Studio as something shared.

- Care over scale

- Process over speed

- Longevity over trend

Concept

A way for different work to sit together,
without forcing it into the same shape.

It links through process, imagery
and development, but each part keeps its
own direction.

The Team

A collaborative project built around documenting culture through garments and visuals.

Contributors work across the project beyond these areas.

Approach

We document things as they exist.

Not staged. Not seperated from use.

The focus is on what's already there,
how it's used,

and how it changes over time.

Structure

The project isn't one thing. It's a set of connected projects.

Each building in it's own direction.

Everything that comes through it is hand selected by us. Things we would wear, use and keep around.

They share a foundation,

but don't follow the same outcome.
