During research, ethnographers collect minute details in anticipation of their possible future value. However, most of these materials never make it into publications or presentations. A protest flyer retrieved from the gutter, a sketch meant to capture what field notes could not, or a leaf that fell from the mango tree into your lap during a long community meeting. These treasures hide in notebooks, boxes, hard drives, and file cabinets. In many ways, this ethnographic collection parallels the practices of the communities I worked with in María la Baja, Colombia. Seeking victim reparations, communities collected memories and documentation of war in hopes that proof of violent pasts would ensure access to peaceful futures. Yet, both my ethnographic record and communal archives of violent pasts often remain unseen or unheard. In other cases, a formal declaration of victimhood or a published article offer the polished and sanitized version of complex experiences. Through a series of mixed-media collages, I honor the layers of untold stories.
