To encourage creative reuse of the archive and inspire new stories, The Avebury Papers Project commissioned two artists, Gayle Chong Kwan and Kialy Tihngang to respond to the wealth of material making up the Avebury Papers, leading to the creation of the artworks Oneiric Archaeologies (Dr Gayle Chong Kwan) and The Bluest Eye (Kialy Tihngang).Can’t make the date?
