This paper looks at the development of an online showcase
repository for the ReTAGS
(Reimagining Tragedy from Africa and the Global South)
practice-as-research artistic productions, Antigone (not
quite/quiet) and iKrele leChiza, and the methodology behind
documenting and digitally archiving their processes. The paper
reflects on the author’s involvement as the digital archivist for
the ReTAGS research and the choices made and implemented
on the online showcase repository. It considers the strengths
and challenges of these archival choices and explores the
possibilities of understanding the archive as a means of artistic
engagement in its own right.
