Drawing lessons from The Natural History Museum’s ongoing project “We Refuse to Die,” NHM Research Director Steve Lyons explores how communities are pushing back against the dominant representation of so-called “sacrifice zones” as sites of powerlessness and victimization, metabolizing grief into collective strength and community power.
