Epistemicide Part 3: Who Got Erased And How to Recover What Was Lost
What happens when stories, songs, and structures are rewritten or erased altogether? In this final part of our Epistemicide series, we trace the loss of knowledge across the arts, architecture, music, literature, and language. But this isn’t just about mourning the erased. It’s about recovering what was lost, resisting with curiosity, and building a culture of memory and imagination. From banned books to folk art to fast food buildings, nothing is too niche, too “lowbrow.” And it's never too late to learn or to remember.
We Should Learn Through Art Whenever Possible (... It Always Is)
Art is the first way we learn—through drawing, music, movement, and storytelling. But as education becomes more “serious,” art is often sidelined as a luxury rather than a powerful tool for understanding the world. What if we never let it go? What if art was integrated into math, science, history, and more, making learning deeper, richer, and more human?
