Map of Memory is an archival project that project that explores the collective memory of Dushanbe. At its core are memories and stories of dushanbians - testimonies that we carefully gather, preserve, and make freely accessible through an open online archive.
The project does not claim to present a definitive account of the city. Instead, it works with memory as a subjective and fragmented form of knowledge. Our goal is to build a living ecosystem where Dushanbe’s changing and disappearing image can be preserved through the ways it is remembered, narrated, and transmitted across generations.

The map brings together several categories of memory.
Some are tied to places that still remain, while others commemorate what has disappeared.
Some memories belong to the twenty-first century; others reach back into the twentieth.
