This book is about stories of archives. By delving into bak.ma, a digital media archive born out of the social movements in Turkey, we are guided through a journey in which archives become sites of other kinds of stories: ones that involve solidarity, activism, and the commons. Author Özge Çelikaslan uses the concept of archives of the commons to reimagine archives as spaces of commoning in which creative, autonomous, platforms are generated collectively to perpetuate knowledge and sociopolitical relations grounded in solidarity and an ethics of care – not in some distant future, but in the here and now. With contributions by Thomas Keenan and Pelin Tan.
