We reject helicopter engagement with historical texts and contemporary communities. We also recognize scholars must do work on a local level and visit the places they claim to be accountable to. The alternative is replicating systems of knowledge extraction that have caused harm and ruptured solidarity instead of forging it.

The Rememory Labs bring DSL members together in person and in physical and ancestral spaces with DSL Partners for community and academic engagement across African, Asian, Pacific, Middle Eastern, and Indigenous contexts. Activities include radical media and writing workshops, community research, studies on ecological and disaster recovery, and creative arts practices led by local artists, experts, and practitioners. The Rememory Labs provide intensive opportunities to learn, collaborate, and create in person with our on-the-ground partners and fellows. Each of the labs is staffed by local community partners as instructors and coordinators. Each Rememory Lab brings DSL members together on the actual land and in the physical locale that they have been researching and creating partnerships with during the academic year.
