SUMMARY:"Archives as Past\, Present\, and Future": Film Screening and Panel Discussion with Dr. Sharanjit Kaur Sandhra
DESCRIPTION:Archives shape the past\, they shape the way in which we access 
 the past and write for the future. But archives are connected to colonial 
 pasts\, erasures\, and harm\, relegating marginalized communities and 
 racialized communities invisible. We know this is untrue - we know archives 
 of these communities exist and there are many\, many stories that need to 
 be told.   The event will feature a film screening of Unarchived directed 
 by Hayley Gray & Elad Tzadok and produced by the National Film Board of 
 Canada.   \n\nIn community archives across British Columbia\, local 
 knowledge keepers are hand-fashioning a more inclusive history. Through a 
 collage of personal interviews\, archival footage and deeply rooted 
 memories\, the past\, present and future come together\, fighting for a 
 space where everyone is seen and everyone belongs. History is what we all 
 make of it.\n\nFollowing the film screening\, join panellists (UBC History 
 professor Dr. Henry Yu\, Unarchived directors Hayley Gray & Elad Tzadok\; 
 and Kwakwaka'wakw artist Lou-ann Neel) in a discussion with UBC Library 
 Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion (EDI) Scholar-in-Residence Dr. Sharanjit 
 Kaur Sandhra on how we can work towards a change where archives can address 
 the erasure of the past\, working towards a tangibility in the future.

 founder of Belonging Matters Consulting and a sessional faculty in the

 race theory lens with the dissertation titled “Museums as Spaces of 
 Belonging: Racialized Power in the Margins.” Sharn is a passionate 
 activist\, building bridges between community and academia through museum 
 and cultural work. She is a past member of the BC Museums Association and
