A proposito di Preservation Side B
Preservation Side B is a project founded by Taylor Kabeary (she/her) and Eduardo Duarte Ruas (he/him), two advocates and preservationists that first came together in New York City. The project is rooted in telling stories, honoring places, and re-centering narratives of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities usually left out of traditional preservation teaching and practice.
Preservation Side B’s goal is to tell stories to inspire people to find their own stories and bring awareness/legacy to places and traditions unique to them. Preservation Side B advocates for a disruptive practice to dismantle elitism, racism, and colonialism that drive current heritage concepts.
The name of the project comes from the music industry, and it represents Side B’s goals well. B-sides are the non-title track songs on albums, which are generally given less attention by the public and media. However, B-Sides of tapes and records have their histories, stories, motivations, and successes. By looking at the core issues of preservation from an academic and professional standpoint, Preservation Side B outlines the steps necessary for a revolution in preservation, serving as a guide to recent graduates to create a more equitable future.
Both co-founders work on Side B after their working hours, and your donation will go towards software (Canva, Squarespace, Buffer, Airtable, etc) we use to keep Side B going!
