VOW 88.1 AREA CODE

In Conversation With Razia Saleh – Head of Archives & Research

Loading player...
All of these conversations — the praise, the criticism, the questions — they all come back to one thing: how we remember.
Because history is not just about what happened — it’s about what we choose to preserve, what we highlight, and sometimes… what we leave out.

We’re now joined by Razia Saleh to talk about archives, memory, and who really controls the narrative.
