History is the bedrock of the present moment. The essays in Stream³—“The Womxn Who Saved VC” by Abe Ferrer, “Reimagining African American History Through Prosthetic Memory and Family Artifacts,” by Julie House, and “New Approaches to Preserving Chinese Antique Porcelain” by Sean Cheng—reveal how community organizations, families, and museums draw upon memory to nourish contemporary art making and cultural programming. Their works center intersectional women’s lives and leadership, and speak to fresh approaches that inspire cultural affirmation and innovation by caring for ancestral knowledge and cultural roots.
