The publication Ghosts in Archive, Ghosts of Protest: an artistic experience of spectral inquiry aims to detect the presence of ghosts in the archive of the International Institute of Social History – ghosts of humans and protests that they started.
This collective research on speculation, historical inquiry and artistic intervention invites to question archives as places ‘full of ghosts’ by excavating the stories attached to them.

Ghosts in Archive, Ghosts of Protest is a printed and audio publication created by the participants of F For Fact program of Sandberg Institute, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Produced during the workshop ‘Ghosts in Archive, Ghosts of Protest’ that took place in the International Institute of Social History (Amsterdam) in March 2023.
All contributions are inspired by the materials found during the archival inquiry into the collections of the IISH. All rights to the original texts and images belong to the copyright holders.
