Tonight! See you there. I’ll be tracing the story and remarkable archival practice of my friend, and collaborator, Dino Estevao. Separated from his family in southern Angola during a 1980 SADF attack, he was raised at the base of the very unit who committed the attack.

Next week I’ll be giving a public lecture entitled "'I barely found anything' - Seizing the means of archival production in the aftermath of atrocity" at the McGregor Museum Kimberley, cohosted by the South African Archaeological Society Trans-Garib Branch 15 April 2025 at 18:00
