ABSTRACT
This chapter is an investigation of how black-and-white 35mm film stock was used by students in a collaborative teaching project on analogue nostalgia at the University of Johannesburg between 2022 and 2024. We reflect on the significance of black-and-white to the development of the project, and discuss the establishment of a media archive, which we conceptualised as a teaching and experimental space entitled the Experimental Media Archaeology Studio. After the project’s implementation over three years, we consider what blackand-white 35mm can reveal about the continued imbrication of digital and analogue media in post-digital society, and the usefulness of the archive in teaching approaches inspired by Experimental Media Archaeology and practice-based teaching and learning.
