Archiving Joy: Photography, Family, and the Future of Black History

How do we preserve Black history—and how do we carry it forward? In Part 2 of this conversation, DJ and Reg continue their dialogue with Renata Cherlise, founder of Black Archives, exploring legacy, intergenerational storytelling, and the power of photography in Black communities. The group discusses the evolution of photography from film to iPhones, the impact of technology on preservation, and how communities engage with visual history across platforms. They also touch on regional influence, creative inspiration, and hands-on projects like Link NYC, before reflecting on legacy, intergenerational connection, and future plans to expand the archive across the African diaspora.
