Xiao Chua at Maki+Fiesta: History, disinformation, and public memory

How do we defend history in an age of speed, noise, and disinformation?In this live conversation from Maki+Fiesta 2.0, historian, educator and author Professor Xiao Chua joins Lyn Olavario and Hannah Tasarra for a candid conversation on public history, technology, and why truth matters—especially for younger audiences.Recorded in the middle of the festival, the discussion touches on creative platforms, collaboration, and the shared responsibility of keeping history accessible, accurate, and alive. From classrooms to content creation, this episode looks at how the past continues to shape the present, and why we can’t afford to stop telling these stories.This episode was produced by Hannah Tasarra and engineered by Jem Bunao.
