The eighth edition of Archivissima, the first festival dedicated to the promotion and development of archival heritages, is scheduled to take place in Turin from 5 to 8 June 2025.
Launched in 2018 following the previous experience of “La Notte degli Archivi” - conceived in 2016 by Promemoria with the aim of publicly returning the wealth of information and narrative contained in the historical archives of organisations, institutions and large companies to the general public - the Festival will be hosting the tenth edition of “La Notte” (Friday 6 June), reaching its first important milestone. The event will come to a close on Sunday the 8th, ideally steering the archives taking part to International Archives Day, which will be held the following day. Intesa Sanpaolo is the Main Partner of Archivissima.
The theme of this new edition is Dalla parte del futuro (On the side of the future), inspired by the idea of possible and (im)possible worlds, and of the future that we want to build. Archives are concerned about the future. They take care of it, preserving the past and imagining new ways and new worlds. If it is true that the evolution of the species advances one individual at a time, the future of mankind is an inclusive concept, sewn together by relationships and diversity to be valued and protected. It is born plural, in the same way that archives are born collective, interrelated and interconnected.
