Our archive is a one-of-a-kind repository of cultural memory, built over a decade of deep, ethical engagement across some of the subcontinent’s most remote and marginalised regions. While collectivising with indigenous, traditional, nomadic, occupational, and minority communities, we co-developed a unique documentation process grounded in an ethical framework; ensuring consent, reciprocity, and non-extractive use of material. The archive spans over 900 hours of recorded footage, 5,000+ digital images, written narratives, case studies, and fact-finding reports, and houses curated collections of photographs, films, crafts, and other living items. These experiential narratives work to de-stigmatise identities and ignite a collective conscience. None of the stories or voices are used for commercial purposes; all usage for education, awareness, advocacy, or small-scale stakeholder fundraising follows clear community-approved guidelines. The archive is accessible to researchers, policymakers, campaigners, and community members alike. Documentation is a non-negotiable part of our practice, and all interns are trained in this framework as part of their engagement with the collective.
