RE: Regenerate, Refurbish, Retype, Retrace, Revert proposes new systems of association and cataloging through the visual. This is antagonistic to an academic approach, a framework that tends to prioritize written language. Acknowledging the material qualities of archives and the multiplicity of sources of information enables us to emphasize the importance of orality and how personal experience broadens the scope of fields of research.
