Some say archives are warehouses of stories. But that’s oversimplifying.
An archive holds good clues and many traces — but each story must be discovered, reconstructed, and brought to life with a bit of imagination. In short: it needs to be told well.
For Archivissima 25, we challenged students of all ages — from primary to high school — by pairing each class with an archive.
The challenge is simple: imagine what our future might look like… without our past.
There’s also room for drawings, poems, collages, video edits, and more.
Stories and alternate futures, woven from archival sources, will be judged by a panel of experts and published in a digital edition curated by Archivissima.
All that’s left is to read them — and vote for your favorite.
The best entries will be published in an anthology!
