"When the archives are empty or 'silent' you must go look in noisier places: arrest records, trial transcripts, cookbooks, diaries. The story is at the edges of photographs and in the fine print of footnotes." M. Moschitto's latest post in Field Notes. www.theanthropologists.org/post/archival-gaps

Thurs April 17 is Black Theater Night. Following the performance, a reflection circle will be offered for Black audience members, co-facilitated by Nadia N. Mbonde (Anthropologist-in-Residence) and Sandie Luna (performer/co-director). Unlock $15 tickets with the code BLACKLEGACY bit.ly/axesBrooklyn
