Conventional archiving approaches have been criticised for being intransparent and highly institutionalised, many untold stories might have been omitted during the process (Powell, 2018). The presentation will share Pat’s recent project Barter Archive(2019-ongoinging), a community-led archive built in collaboration with fishmongers at the Billingsgate Fish Market at Canary Wharf London, uses a hybrid approach — combining analogous and digital methods — to document disappearing voices in a market vulnerable to urban expansion. She curated the archive by engaging with the barter idea physically and symbolically. Memorable objects that are 'bartered' by using her
observational drawings of the happenings in the space.
