"we do this by actually asking those communities how they would like to be remembered" I mean this should be so obvious but you can hear the incredulity in her voice, it's unbelievable that we even have to think about this. This woman is amazing, fantastic fantastic video

Thanks for the video. I am using it in my undergraduate Intro to Public History class when we talk about how archives are not neutral spaces.

Forgotten voices, places and spaces are extremely important. I experienced that after coming to grips with the fact that my grandfather was a WWI veteran in 2012. What was shocking to me was interviewing family members who I have known all my life and realizing that in fact, I did not know them as their voices were "hidden" in plain sight. Please see my paper, "Jamaican WWI Veterans Presence and Heritage in Cuba 1930s" published in 2019 by the Journal of Arts, Science and Technology - University of Technology, Jamaica. Dominique Luster is right on point. Thank you.

The only way this could be better is if Dominique did a mic drop at the end :)

Excellent presentation. Your each and every concerns applies on Mithila and Manjusha art in Bihar, if we talk particularly about the marginalized art communities which has power to subdue the world with their creativity and expressions. Thank you.
