MISQ

About Me

MISQ collects artifacts of and treatises on history.
In the pages of War and Peace, good old Leo Tolstoy wrote (again and again), that history is decided by all people, by all pieces and all parts. He was neither the first nor the last to say this.
MISQ is unsatisfied with the way things have been remembered and forgotten. Since it seems that the way we remember shapes the way we act, MISQ invites you to begin building a new sort of history, one of different words and sounds and pictures, one that might change what is unfair, and bring back what is lost.
Help us build a new history house. Send materials for doorknobs, windowpanes, clocks, shingles, etc.
