Archives are curated spaces. It’s always someone’s responsibility to select what stories or perspectives are collected and represented and these selections can be exclusionary and harmful to different groups of people. Runway Journal has been responsible for producing and preserving critical and visual works for almost two decades, and through the archiving process we realised that our archive is a historical timeline of how cultural dialogues have evolved over this time within the Australian arts community. What the Runway Journal archive suggests is that the artist-run community is not exempt from the same slow cultural movement we criticise in major arts institutions.
