Archives Onstage

Archives Onstage is a new annual interdisciplinary, cross-campus series that aims to activate and increase access to the NYU Division of Libraries’ significant performing arts-related archival holdings in relation to contemporary art and scholarship on campus, in partnership with NYU’s Skirball Center for the Performing Arts. The 2025 series will center on the archives of Hot Peaches, a queer performance group that was active from the 1970s-1990s. Through multiple events, an exhibit, and curricular opportunities, the series situates these archives as integral to the past, present and future lives of the university and its surrounding artistic communities.
