This is such a phenomenal graphic regarding the spectrum of language

agreed! thank you

being specific American should be the description for anyone born in the continent including Central and South american.

Amazing slides!

👏🏻

Amen Javier!!

And thank you Dr. Synatra!

This is an amazing project.

More on Fiks' books here: https://yevgeniyfiks.com/section/184719_Books.html

Is the dictionary available in US libraries/bookstores? I'd love to read through the volume.

The Yiddish-Gay dictionary is available on Amazon. (I just sent it to our Yiddish selector to order for our collection.)

Thank you!

Thanks, Emma! Yes, Fiks’ books are available for purchase and are indeed in certain museums and libraries -- the artist can confirm ^^

Yes, some of the libraries have it for sure. Dictionary of the Queer International is available here https://publicationstudio.biz/books/dictionary-of-the-queer-international/

Jasmine Clark - What a powerful beginning, followed by an insightful framework on the construction of Black disability wrt to formal medicalized racism and invisibilized systemic racism. Props and applause

Thank you all so much! This was so informative.

Love the highlighting of the richness of Black Twitter

Thank you so much, I've learned so much from you all!

thank you, this is all amazing

i have to hop off, but I hope to check out the recording later!

Thank you for joining! The recording will be available this evening for all who attended.

If you have any questions for the panelists, feel free to drop them in the chat! We'll also have time to dialog collectively after the second presentation.

For those of us in positions of institutional authority (e.g. in a library), what are some suggestions for how to invite people to participate in the construction of "authorities", when we may not have earned a trusted place in community? I love the idea of the questionnaires in the National Library of Israel - how do we find the balance between authority and humility?

A question for later today: Can panelists share practical steps about how to start doing this reparative and contextual work in their home institutions/community?

Excellent presentations!

You got it Juliet!

We know math!

Thank you

Thank you very much to our first panel -- so thoughtful and well done, everyone.

This is such an interesting collaborative exhibit building practice.

Very interesting presentation

Neat connections between Dr. Moïse work on kreyol language / espitemologies and the first panel this morning.

I love that. My research is MEsearch.

If you have any questions for the panelists, feel free to drop them in the chat! We'll also have time to dialog collectively after the Q&A for presentation.

wow, amazing powerful rewrite

Hi all, we will hold Q&A for our amazing second panel for 10 minutes and then move into open discussion for all.

Oftentimes communities also don't trust their local institutions to acquire and share their stories.

I agree with all that and always want to add:I think there are no "best” practices, but only "next" practices - drawing from Demian - post-post-apocalyptic practices. One next practice might be refusing to give some stories to be collected and catalogued.

^^

That's a great point! Who benefits?

I was in an HBCU/Black museums workshop where they asked us why we're doing this work and it's such a great question to keep us grounded as we do cultural preservation work. Some stories/material culture were intentionally hidden/destroyed so preservation is actually exactly what SHOULDN'T be happening in those cases.

an example of an Indigenous AR: ourworlds.io

can you post that to chat, please?

Sure. All of you work with communities that are either non-English speaking or have a more complicated relationship with the language in terms of varying cultural and geographical contexts. How have you witnessed or experienced non-Eurocentric collectives prioritize community interpretations in the way they document their research, collections, and archives?

thanks

I'm just putting examples in the chat:

Thanks for the resources Wayne!

Leo ladies!

I have some questions from the first panel…

For those of us in positions of institutional authority (e.g. in a library), what are some suggestions for how to invite people to participate in the construction of "authorities", when we may not have earned a trusted place in community? I love the idea of the questionnaires in the National Library of Israel - how do we find the balance between authority and humility?

I will also share a link to a survey for the symposium here. Following the symposium, I will share the link again. Please let us know your thoughts on today's program. Your feedback is important to how we continue to engage with our larger community through this work: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeIpeaMjXlBpF_ZVXPbCNyptvvKmsxbbj0Pq4GC14qs3QU49w/viewform?usp=sf_link

love that, not only culturally ready, but technically and financially ready to be accountable to communities

+1 Caroline: “we can't just take a cultural approach [to dismantling these systems that are not just cultural systems: financial, infrastructure systems built into white supremacy]”

perhaps Kelly is thinking of the Mukurtu CMS?

https://mukurtu.org/

some tangential thoughts about temporality… Cutcha Risling Baldy - Native people live in post-apocalyptic reality. Theresa Stewart Ambo - Indigenous peoples have always been futurists. Indigenous x Black temporalities - the role of birds in certain California Native teachings, and how this resonates with this Sankofa bird. Thus, what is the role of the archive in entrapping or supporting these Indigenous temporalities?

I've got to run but I look forward to reviewing what else was discussed in the recording! Huge thanks to all who organized, moderated, and helped make this happen otherwise + of course special thanks to the incredible presenters (you've left me feeling so inspired and ready to think through lots of the questions you've posed)🙂 I'm so grateful.

+1 Kelly/+1 Petrouchka -- how do we build the technology...and then make it sustainable across communities and time

love this analogy of care vis-a-vis the baby

Some thing I find myself struggling with is the tension between a community needing to document their history and the right of the people who lived that history to decide if they even want to document or share their stories -- and if we allow that silence, how do we pass down our history within our communities.

Could the panelists discuss how to deal with historical works?

Huge thanks to all organizers and speakers - I'm sorry that I have to leave before the conclusion!

Truly insightful, inspiring, and catalytic presentations and conversations. Thank you to the organizers and panelists for foregrounding these urgent issues.

We are technically at time, but we can give more space until 1:30pm for questions and thoughts. Please share here or raise your hand.

YA!! more comments than q: really resonate with people expressing ambivalence -- mixed feelings/contradictory ideas about their roles and this work. Also wondering if these institutions are necessary to retain?Work within/against destroy to rebuild?!? etc

a great question to take us out!

Can that last question from Synatra be posted here in the chat?

of course!

What kinds of upgrades would you like to see institutions make to their collections and archival management systems to disrupt the colonial and white supremacist perspective that’s embedded within the industry? How can PWIs balance decolonizing and diversifying their own collections without also encroaching on the work of BIPOC institutions?

Synatra’s question ^^

Thanks!

apologies, I have a hard stop at 1:30. Many, many thanks to all who listened, spoke, organized today.

Thank you all for this wonderful event. I too have a hard stop at 1:30pm.

+1 Petrouchka ….. taking it back to Art Information Commons website: https://artinformationcommons.github.io/index A small step toward wider contextualization and maximization of our systems and developing community.

Thank you thank you for joining us!

Linked Data needs the conversations and thoughts from today too because linked data standards will still only reflect the voices that participate there.

correction: ….participate here

Thank you speakers for speaking your truth and sharing with us today!

thanks to all

Thank you all! Thrilled to have participated to.

today*!

Thank you all for sharing your energy, expertise and time.

Thanks everyone!

pessimism can be a site of healing and hope. i'm jaded but hopeful as fuck. 🙂

thank you all! <3
