What Stays – Archiving Care is a year-long residency project exploring digital counter-archives and the role of technology in opening up alternative histories and memories. The project launched with an open call for three digital residencies for international artists of any discipline.

The residents were selected by jury members Helen Pritchard, Oulimata Gueye, Clara Herrmann, Markus Huber, and Nora O Murchú. The digital residency took place from August to October 2021.

The selected artists are

Aditya Surya Taruna aka Kasimyn

Romi Ron Morrison

Lo-Def Film Factory

What Stays – Archiving Care is a project by Akademie der Künste, Goethe Institute Slovakia, and transmediale festival and highlights artistic, speculative, and uncooperative practices that change perceptions of pasts and futures. Over the year the project partners hosted various event formats exploring and documenting the development of the residency projects and their outcomes.
