This chapter looks closely at the role of three community archives as a counter-response to institutional archival practices, and mainstream migration narratives. Through theoretical analysis, ethnographic vignettes, co-authored contributions, and multimedia archival engagement,
it explores the collective aspiration, memory, and placemaking in the Dzjangal, Tiburtina,
and Los Arenales. The second and third sections of the chapter are co-authored by Elizabeth
Andrade, Adolfo Estalella, Davide Franceschini, Carla J. Maier, Cristian Ochoa, and Kathy
O’Hare.
