really proud + excited to offer this guide + diagram to radical memory work in @syllabusproject! 📜🧠⚙️

through this paper, i outline the complexities of our collective memory; and how the archive can be a place of storytelling, repair/healing and power.

so many wonderful humans + organizations have shaped my practice over the past several years—those listed at the end doesn’t even begin to cover all i’ve learned from community.

“Nasir’s syllabus guides readers on how to conduct memory work in order to fill in blank spaces in the archives. The piece draws on their own experience building {B/qKC}, an archival project dedicated to recording and preserving the history of Black queer Kansas City. Nasir cites a number of examples of radical memory work projects, from the Midwest to Palestine.”
