Performance
T.R.A.P. is a performance-based preservation archive that centers the body in its work. Through T.R.A.P. Archives and Presentations, we transform research and preservation into fully produced theatrical works, making your archive accessible to public or private audiences through live performance. Each production includes an accompanying exhibition and catalogue.
Education
T.R.A.P. offers an online workshop series on archiving and preserving collections. Held monthly and open globally through registration, these workshops center the work of Black memory workers and cultural caretakers around the world. Learn creative, care-centered approaches to archiving your own collection.
