Online Launch Event of Ninaivu: Tamil Memory Archive

DESCRIPTION
This video is of the virtual launch event for Ninaivu: Tamil Memory Archive, where Aanjali Allegakoan facilitates a discussion with panelists D'Lo, YaliniDream, Thiviya Navaratnam, and Sunthar Vykunthanathan. The following is an excerpt from the Ninaivu Archive web page: "Ninaivu, meaning ‘to recall’ in Tamil, is meant to be an archival space that the Ilankai/Eelam/Sri Lankan Tamil community can see a pluralistic view of what the Tamil diaspora looks like. This archive focuses on the experiences of Tamil cis women and LGBTQ+ folks, in an effort to change the patriarchal and heteronormative narrative that dominates diasporic conversation."

This archive was curated by Aanjali Allegakoen and is an important subject of conversation during her interview for the Archival Creators Fellowship project on Ilankai Tamil Feminism, for which Aanjali was an interviewee and served as an advisor, as was panelist YaliniDream.
