Heirloom: Doing Family History in the Wake (2023)
By Auriana Woods
The accompanying online workshop explored practices of doing family history via genealogy, archives, and oral history. Through taking a look at a family history project six years in the making, we discussed the act of collecting, documenting, and preserving family stories "in the wake," a framing of Black American life in the long afterlife of transatlantic slavery coined by Christina Sharpe.
