"Reparative archival work does not pretend to ignore the imperialist, racist, homophobic, sexist ableist and other discriminatory traditions of mainstream archives, but instead acknowledges these failures and engages in conscious actions toward a wholeness that may seem to be an exercise in futility, but in actuality is an ethical imperative for all."
- Lae'l Hughes-Watkins
"We tend to remain contactable as musical beings right up until the end of life. The auditory system of the brain is the first to fully function at 16 weeks, which means that you are musically receptive, long before anything else, it's a case of first in, last out when it comes to the breakdown of memory."
- Professor Paul Robertson
