Participation is cultural infrastructure
Culture does more than produce artifacts: shared making, attendance, and memory can renew civic connection.
Communities already hold rich archives of experience in recordings, flyers, stories, local collections, and recurring rituals. Much of that value is hard to find or disconnected from the people who could extend it. The opportunity is not indiscriminate digitization. It is a consent-aware bridge between one meaningful artifact and one new act of participation.
