While guided by the rigor of her discipline, her work also revolves around her intuition and her love of storytelling, as she illuminates untold and often undervalued histories. Smiti joins Rebecca to discuss her expansive approach to material history on her YouTube channel, the influence of her Hindu upbringing on her spirituality, and a vision of power that stems from kindness and community.
