The project bridges the 19th century archives of Salvador, Bahia, with the lived realities of returnee communities along the Bight of Benin. By tracing specific lineages through archival materials including the Livros de Notas\u00a0housed in the\u00a0Arquivo P\u00fablico do Estado da Bahia (APEB), baptismal records in Agoue, and oral speculations of return, the project moves beyond the \u201chomogenized\u201d data of the archive to recover the weight of names that were nearly lost to history.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation will feature a live walkthrough of the StoryMapJS pilot, followed by a deep dive into the project&#8217;s research methodology. The research team will discuss the challenges of our \u201cancestral inquiring\u201d of colonial archives to find the \u201cghost names\u201d and establish a presence that never even made it to the margins of liberty notes.<\/p>\n<p>This project is the result of a collaborative effort dedicated to uncovering these hidden migration patterns. Joining lead researcher\u00a0Dr. <span>Jumoke<\/span> Verissimo will be research assistants Peter Ton and Suprabha Vidharshani Irugalratne, who will share insights into the archival process and the digital art curation that brings this \u201cAncestral Mist\u201d to life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;
