Documenting Lived Experiences
We focus on capturing the nuanced stories of elders, women, healers, and practitioners to ensure their knowledge is not lost.
Curating Contextual Wisdom
Our approach emphasizes the importance of context, allowing us to present knowledge as dynamic and relational.
Preserving Unarchived Knowledge
By actively seeking out and preserving voices that typically remain unheard, we contribute to a richer understanding of our shared histories.Our Guiding Principles
At The Maarifa Project, our values shape every aspect of our work, fostering a deep respect for knowledge as a living entity.
Relational Knowledge
We believe that knowledge is best understood in relation to the communities and contexts from which it emerges. This perspective informs our documentation practices.Embodied Wisdom
Recognizing that lived experience carries profound insights, we prioritize the voices of those who practice their knowledge in real-world settings.Contextual Preservation
Our commitment to preserving knowledge is rooted in the understanding that it is often contextual and ephemeral, requiring careful stewardship.
