Threads of Memory

Lead researcherInterviewerArchive editor

A digital oral-history archive preserving everyday stories of dress, ritual, migration, and belonging across three generations.

Outcome

Produced a consent-led public archive and a research exhibition that connected family histories with larger patterns of urban change.

Listening before interpreting

The project followed a consent-first method. Participants chose what could be recorded, transcribed, photographed, and shown, and reviewed their stories before publication.

The final archive connects intimate objects—saris, letters, recipes, photographs—to broader histories of work, migration, aspiration, and care.
