This interview with Caroline Frick, founder of the Texas Archive of the Moving Image (TAMI), explores the origins, motivations, and broader significance of the archive within the context of Texas's unique cultural and geographical landscape. Frick discusses the inspiration behind TAMI's creation, highlighting the state's eclectic borders—ranging from international (Texas–Mexico) to regional (borders with Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma)—and how these influence Texas's cultural identity. The interview explores how TAMI's collections challenge traditional narratives of Texas, focusing on the diversity of the state's regions and cultures and the underrepresented voices within its history. Frick also explains the Texas Film Round-Up, through which TAMI's mission to democratize access to media and to represent the full spectrum of Texas identities is evident, illustrating the critical role of archives in redefining historical narratives and cultural memory.
