01 / What we doMore about us ↗
Culture has a past. We bring it into focus.
Marginal Eras is a living archive and research lab created by Jesse Bernard. Our practice brings together objects, images, sound and stories from the communities that shaped them.
Rooted in research and guided by care, we preserve cultural memory and use it to make sense of the present.
