Week of Associative Archives

The Exhibition Week of Associative Archives, from May 11 to 13, 2026, emerges from the need to make visible a body of work that has, for many years, been crucial and essential to the life of the academic community.


It aims to highlight foundational work that: broadens the scope of professional opportunities (UDA), questions the conditions of gendered knowledge production (DRAG-Lab), sheds light on structural and systemic issues (TNT), fosters social connections and celebration within the community (EVENT, La Baraque, Tournoi Bernard), represents the rights and interests of students (ASAR), raises awareness of the professional world of construction and building (In Situ), organizes and disseminates competitions (OsCar), and ultimately showcases and celebrates Master’s projects (MAP).


This moment is intended to be shared collectively, regardless of one’s status at EPFL—faculty, doctoral candidates, assistants, students—and to serve as a platform for questioning the role and future of associative engagement within an institution that can sometimes appear opaque and inaccessible.


We hope many of you will join us. We look forward to seeing you there.
