Yes, because this archive is always also an educational endeavor with young people and their teachers, it aspires to provoke publics who care about EiJ historically, presently and imaginatively for future generations.
Because this archive is centered around public schools any and all families of school-age children should be interested in the archive. Students wanting to learn more about the built environments they grew up in should also be interested. Anyone interested in governance in Azusa and neighboring localities should be interested. Finally, anyone interested in issues of justice, and they way that it is interwoven across environmental, social-economic, educational, etc, issues of justice.
The question of how to make this archive known and accessible to these multiple audiences, I think, will be an interative process of bringing in various stakeholders and keeping open a space of accessibility, while also creating sites of sophisticated analysis and interpretation.
Mapping EiJ in Azusa challenges the conceptualizations of place, boundaries, intersectionality, flows and disjunctures. Azusa is a city, connected and cut-off in ways similar to other small regional municipalities. An archive of Azusa is linked to multiple other cities not only by shared boundaries, but also by transporation flows of people, goods, air, faultlines that extend far beyond the cities bounded space. Therefore the Azusa archive must be nested and linked to other forms of cultural, natural, social, and economic formations.
How does one build a city archive while also representing the complexity of city-status around issue of justice, environmental or otherwise?
