This is one of my explorations with the intention to archive the conversations between women that are often overlooked. Oftentimes, women exchange advice and wisdom with each other in an informal setting. Think of tips on how to execute specific recipes that older women give to their younger family members in the kitchen. That kind of wisdom that came from practice, from the lived experience of being a woman, is given out to each other so liberally and weightlessly, even if they are important knowledge on life and how to navigate through it as a woman.

I created a small booklet filled with prompts for women to fill with what they got from another woman, and what they want to give or say to other women. The exclusivity is deliberate, as it aims to become the launchpad for an archive of knowledge and heirlooms that are widely regarded as womanly.

The archive is intended to have an audience of only women, and it collects from only women as well. It invites to give space for keepsakes given by other women; this could take the form of objects, words, conversations, or anything they could think of. The aim is to archive these as artifacts of the girl world, a world where they are only speaking to each other with no presence of men. It serves as a counter archive and a space where women can exist together as a collective.
