Spy games. This week The Nameless Collective analyze declassified government documents regarding a New Year’s Eve gathering in Vancouver’s Chinatown. Names are called, lines are drawn, traitors identified. The year is 1913.

The trio also attempt to put names to the nameless in a photograph from Harnam Kaur’s cremation, and speculate on who is present in the photograph and why they were there. The photograph sets the scene for key characters involved in the Ghadar movement, and the Komagata Maru episode and its aftermath. Visit thenameless.co to follow along as we dissect the photograph.
