SAADA ensures that South Asian People are acknowledged as a necessary a part of the American story. In “The Lacking Tales,” SAADA’s Government Director Samip Mallick will cowl how communities come to be excluded from the archival report and the way we will deal with these absences. Samip will present an introduction to South Asian American historical past (1800s to current) and also will focus on how community-based archives can develop into websites for liberation by introducing the viewers to SAADA’s archival collections, packages, and storytelling initiatives.
