A must-read article written by @ArchaeoNetworks about how "we must identify specific ways to create space for local community members to be actively involved in research and museum narratives from the beginning, not simply the end." @jugaad__project
1/x 🆕@ArchaeoNetworks peer-reviewed article covers #Islamiccoins and how they hold important contemporary meanings that have been overlooked.
Read ⬇️ results from a survey of people culturally connected to the Middle East and North Africa #MENA region!

#Juneteenth is a day of celebration, mourning and reflection. We stand with our Black and Afro-Indigenous relatives as we recognize the brutal and unjust impacts of colonization and slavery. We cannot undo the past, but we can and must learn from it.
