This workshop explores three key methodologies from Samo’s artistic research, orbiting around critical archival studies and practices. We will take the artistic research project “Veliko nas je bilo / We Were Many”, focusing on early language recordings of Carinthian Slovenes, as a starting point. Searching the archives for words and stories that were thought to be lost, where language becomes a political issue and a vocalised struggle for justice and recognition.
After a critical exploration of these historical recordings, we will hold a listening session to sit with the voices and ghosts captured within the archive. Finally, we will explore the interaction between language and materiality, culminating in a material-discursive practice where language/words and material become artistic artefacts.
