Episode notes
The study of History… from classes in school that left me yawning as a child, to an experience as an adult that leaves me curious with wide-eyed fascination. The more I observe the world around me - asking questions or pointing fingers based on identity - the more I feel we need to learn, at a young age, about our collective journey.
I talk to Museologist, Art Historian and Curator Deepthi Sasidharan about her continuous work in discovering the roots of our identities, traditions and culture, and her efforts in preserving the stories of our past for future generations. Listen to our conversation about how the teaching of History in schools, made immersive and relatable, can heal us better as a society and bring us together as a community.
Happy Listening!
