The ARCHIVO Visiting Researcher Program is an annual initiative fostered within the Archivo International Network for Photography and Visual Culture. It is an online, unpaid collaboration open to scholars at any
stage of their careers, as well as practitioners and other professionals in the field of visual culture. Applicants are welcome to join the network as visiting researchers within the Archivo Research Network 2025 themed programme.

Theme: THE ARCHIVE AS MODEL / SOURCE.
A Visiting Researcher should already be engaged in academic research.
Prospective Visiting Researchers should align their proposals with the theme of the Archivo program for 2025, and actively participate in the annual themed program by sharing their research through our activities, which may include public events, group sessions, and talk series.

The Visiting Researchers' program 2025 seeks to investigate archival practices in visual arts by inviting proposals that examine various approaches to the archive as both a structural model and a source of information for artistic, curatorial, and cultural practices, spanning from historical, political and cultural standpoints. In this edition, we aim to explore contemporary archive-based visual arts and contemporary archival sources and collections, emphasising critical approaches and case studies that interrogate established notions of archival documents as static sources of knowledge, testing innovative methodologies for experimenting with and producing meaning within archival imagery and its various forms of appropriation within art and visual studies.
​
COLLABORATION PERIOD
Selected candidates will engage in a one-year collaboration (Jan-Dec 2025).

ACCESS TO RESOURCES
Visiting Researchers will have access to the Archivo Media Archive, and free registration to the online events included in the year's program.
