Watch the ninth episode of our online interview series, Talking Archives, which features conversations with artists, archivists, and researchers who are part of the A/CA network.

This episode features Julia Minne in conversation with A/CA's Principal Investigator, Janine Marchessault. Julia is a PhD student at the Département de communication of the Université de Montréal and the Département d’Arts plastiques at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and is also in charge of the initiative Savoirs communs du cinéma, carried out by the Cinémathèque québécoise. She has a master’s degree in film archives from the University of Paris VIII. In the interview, Julia discusses the research she has been conducting on the feminist video art collective Vidéo Femmes within the Cinémathèque québécoise archives.

Archive/Counter-Archive is dedicated to activating and remediating audiovisual archives created by Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, Métis, Inuit), the Black community and People of Colour, womxn, LGBT2Q+ and immigrant communities. Political, resistant, and community-based, counter-archives disrupt conventional narratives and enrich our histories.
