AKTION ARKIV 

Aktion Arkiv is an independent research group consisting of Sara Brolund de Carvalho, Maryam Fanni, Heidi Svenningsen Kajita, Jennifer Mack, Helena Mattsson, Meike Schalk and Svava Riesto. The collective was founded by Sara Brolund de Carvalho, Helena Mattsson and Meike Schalk in 2013 and expanded in 2021. The members are based in Stockholm, Copenhagen and Berlin.

Aktion Arkiv’s methods are based on collaborative formats, such as participatory action research, and simultaneously, these formats are also part of the dissemination of the research. They have developed participatory historical records through public actions that bring together diverse actors and a public around urban cultural, historical, and political issues by employing experimental research formats such as witness seminars, walks, films, re-enactments, collective time-space mappings and Forum Theater.
