Decoding the Politics of Archives

This semester focuses on making academic archival research accessible to a non-academic audience through multi-media.
The portfolio starts with module one which focuses on the palimpsestic history of Lucknow. The module enabled us to access an interpret Internet archives, as well as physical archives. The second aspect of this module was interpreting a ruin of the building as its own archive.  It enabled us to represent evidence in the form of historiographical map and an unfolded running section.
The second module culminates all our findings from the first module into an elaborate board game, which is based on archival evidence on Lucknow.
