            This week, the NIHSS proudly shines a spotlight on the remarkable research of our Post-doc, Dr Kim Gurney, in our ongoing Research Spotlight Series. Her latest book, Flipside: The Inadvertent Archive, pays close attention to the backstage, invisible labour of institution-building and curatorial practice. It investigates a 50-year document archive of the Cape’s oldest non-profit arts association (AVA) and brings to life these previously unexplored and uncatalogued stacksProudly facilitated by the Centre for Humanities Research (CHR) at the University of the Western Cape and supported by the NIHSS.For more information, please visit: www.iwalewabooks.com/product-page/kim-gurney-flipside ...
