Some of us inherited photo albums.
Some of us inherited silence.
Some of us are still searching for proof that we were ever here at all.
This Pride Month, ROAD invites you into a sacred conversation on memory, grief, and Black q***r survival.
🕯️ The Importance of Archival Work in Black Q***r Communities
Archival Work as Ancestral Veneration
Facilitated by Ramses (He/They)
Together, we’ll explore how DIY archiving becomes more than preservation — it becomes resistance. A love letter. A ritual. A way of grieving. A way of remembering ourselves back into existence.
What happens when we preserve:
📸 our photographs
📝 our stories
🖤 our lineage
🌿 our lived experiences
before the world attempts to erase them?
Hosted as part of ROAD’s Healing, Justice & Belonging Initiative, this virtual gathering will center Black q***r and trans memory while welcoming artists, organizers, healers, archivists, allies, and community members committed to collective remembrance and liberation.
✨ Together we’ll reflect on:
• grief as sacred memory
• storytelling as ancestral technology
• preserving Black q***r histories
• archiving as healing justice and cultural resistance
