Acknowledgments
This platform, and project were only possible thanks to the involvement of core members of Arc.Bangalore, BeneathATree, and other individuals in the community. It has been created by Sanjana Bhoopathi as a part of a pre-thesis project at Srishti Manipal, but at no point is it hers to own. If the Lived Archive was to go live, it would belong solely to the community. Thank you!
