Our project investigates six multi-sited case studies across eight European cities : Amsterdam, Berlin, Bordeaux, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Rotterdam, Prague, and Zurich . Some of these cities have reputations as national and international centers of drug use, whereas others have drug cultures that lay mostly under the radar.
The Archive covers a vast array of material, including historic documents, oral histories, mappings, interviews, photos, and objects. To expand the participatory archive, we are collaborating with nine nonprofit organizations across Europe. These associations have been working for decades in the fields of drug activism, policy debate, and living history. Their expertise will form the foundation of the Narcotic City Archive.
