AbstractThis practice-as-research, archive-based, interdisciplinary project proposes the first complete study and analysis of the theoriesand practices and historical and critical legacies of artist, educator, writer, AIDS video activist and LGBTQ+ television pioneerStuart Marshall (1949-1993). This will be situated between his primary archives at LUX, the British Artists' Film & Video StudyCollection, Northumbria University and research archives in North America. This will affirm Marshall's influential role inestablishing sound and video art and LGBTQ+/ AIDS video, television, and treatment activism in the UK and internationally.Building on my research on Stuart Marshall in the UK and North America I will extend my writing, interviews and event-basedactivities to reanimate Marshall's hybrid media praxis with pre- and post-web 2.0 queer, feminist and media activistmaterialities. This will rethink 1970s-1990s activism for today through new critical writing, new media works and solo andcollaborative public events. This will stage new and intersecting research and practice on Marshall's transnational art, academicand activist networks and art, education and LGBTQ+/ AIDS media activism in North East England, the UK, Canada, and theUS.QuestionHow can a critical analysis of and practice-based response to Stuart Marshall's art, media and archive intervention
