We are excited to announce that the archives of hancock & kelly and Traci Kelly have been acquired by De Montfort University (UK).

The archives will be housed at the Special Collections Department, and form part of the research and study at the Institute of Drama, Dance & Performance Studies.

The acquisition will be launched with an array of newly commissioned works in response to the archives by a collective of DMU graduates, undergrad and postgrad students. These events are part of a wider project, funded by De Montfort University, focused on Creatively Innovating the Archive, co-ordinated by Alissa Clarke, Harriet Curtis, Elinor Parsons, and 'Funmi Adewole.

Enquiries regarding access to the archives should be addressed to archives@dmu.ac.uk.
