At the event, Désirée Reynolds, Cheryl Bailey and Otis Mensah discussed their experience of discovering Black and marginalised voices in the archives.  The wider project considered questions such as: How do we confront the violence of the archive?  How do we honour the lives of ordinary people from the past, particularly those who were marginalised and oppressed in their own time?  How might the archive become a space for social justice?
