Art practioner and youth worker Meera Shakti Osborne shares insights into archiving unruly histories in this online talk. We will think together about the impulse to archive, questioning the process and reflecting on ways of recording and sharing. Meera will share audio samples from the DUH archive and there will be time to reflect and chat together.
This is part of a two part series with Meera Shakti Osborne around archiving unruly histories. You can check out the associated workshop here.
This event is open to all but we particularly welcome BPOC and queer people as the duh archive reflects these identities.

About DUH:
department of Unruly histories (DUH) is an audio visual art project run by Meera Shakti Osborne. DUH's intention is to build a historical archive of people's unique and often-untold stories in London. DUH is a multi-part series, working with a range of diasporic communities and individuals across London. Participants choose which histories they would like to record, and together we have been creating sound pieces and visual publications which range from conversational to experimental.Archives are, by their nature, unruly–a quality that DUH encourages throughout the process.
