What does it mean to curate beyond tradition?

In this episode of Patterns of Our Diasporas, we sit with visionary Black curators Angela N. Carroll and Ginger Rudolph to explore legacy, storytelling, and the quiet power of shaping cultural memory.

From archives to exhibitions, we unpack how Black curators are redefining space, honoring rest, and creating pathways where none existed before.

This is a conversation about stewardship, imagination, and moving with integrity.

Damarius' talk was fantastic!!! The power of public memory is a whole entire conversation!!!

History really is valuable… the work is about how you enact that history, apply that history, and think about its relevance today.

Last week, Damarius Johnson reminded us that history isn’t just something we document — it’s something we live, activate, and carry forward. In this powerful Talk Recap, he reflects on how storytelling through DiasporaDNA becomes ‘Public Memory’ - a bridge between past and present.

Thank you, Damarius, for grounding us in purpose and possibility.
