    Description

    The past–history, remembrance, and memory–doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It continues to affect each of us in the present in so many ways. In this episode, Radhika Hettiarachchiand Ana Edwards discuss historical memory and reclaiming spaces–both physical and figurative. Radhika discusses her work collecting personal narratives of mothers from Sri Lanka about the conflict and Ana makes connections to her work reclaiming and preserving Richmond’s African Burial Ground.

    Transitional justice describes the measures countries put into place to address legacies of conflict and human rights abuses. In the absence of any formal transitional justice mechanism in the US, Sites of Conscience are ideal places to facilitate and foster discussion around truth, justice, and reconciliation. To help American sites learn from the work already being done around the world, we paired up US-based Sites of Conscience with Sites of Conscience members in Colombia, The Gambia, South Africa, and Sri Lanka - all countries that have, or are currently undergoing transitional justice processes. In this series, participants will revisit these conversations, sharing what they have learned with you, our listeners. This podcast is a program of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience. Production by Better Lemon Creative Audio.
