Harvesting Traces / a digital archive \ served as a space for the Socio-Political Context (Pre)MA '23 & '24 class at Sint Lucas Antwerpen to document their processes and deep-dives.
Experimenting with technique, learning from one another, researching frameworks and methodologies, the Harvesting Traces was created with the intention of being a site : sight of collective gathering.

Moving forward, the site will continue to be an [archival treasure] for knowledge exchange and shared learning. If you have any recommendations + tips, please e-mail.

FREE PALESTINE

الحُرِّية_لِفلسطين

In the face of ethnic cleansing and the injustices it represents, it becomes our moral necessity to stand united in solidarity. To resist is to breathe life into the values of fairness, collectivity and human rights.

In the darkness of such atrocities, together we can be the voices that refuse to be silenced, and the hands that reach out to empower those in need. Collectively, we have the opportunity for resilience and compassion for the present and future generations in Palestine.
