The Lunchbox Interview: Sylvia D. Hamilton (Excavation: Memory Work)

Too often, history seems to be presented in terms of dates, places and facts, rather than in terms of people and culture.

My guest today is Sylvia D. Hamilton, a filmmaker, poet and writer whose work highlights, exposes and solidifies the history of African people in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and elsewhere. Her exhibit, Excavation: Memory Work, is currently on displays at the UNB Art Centre, featuring elements discovered among the archives and artifacts of Kings Landing.
