This program takes place at the ICA Watershed.

Explore the ICA Archives from the 1980s with Curatorial Assistant Meghan Clare Considine. During the ’80s, the ICA featured new explorations in film and video that reflected the rich period of making and studying art in Boston. Through programs like the Contemporary Art Television Fund (1983-86) the ICA partnered with WGBH to support experimental video artists and broadcast their artworks on television. 

This summer, the ICA Watershed is temporarily housing the ICA’s expansive archives which span the 90-year history of the museum. Join members of the ICA’s curatorial staff as they highlight some of their favorite things about the ICA and its history.


This project is supported by the Barr Foundation and Judi Kaufman and Arthur Rubin.
