Memory for the Future

A Public Humanities Lab

Memory for the Future (M4F) began as a year-long "studiolab" based at the Lewis Collaborative in St. Louis (Fall 2022 to Spring 2023). M4F combines the study of interlinked histories and legacies of colonialism, slavery, and genocide with collaborative development of reparative public humanities projects in St. Louis.

While our studiolab year has formally ended the co-leaders of the effort remain committed to reparative public humanities projects, and will continue to use this site and our instagram to share related work.
