We’re excited to share that CENTRO is joining Historias, a citywide initiative reimagining how Latinx histories are told, protected, and shared across New York City.
Led by The Clemente Center and co-presented with the Latinx Arts Consortium, Historias brings together archival work, oral histories, public humanities, and community-led storytelling to strengthen Latinx cultural memory as civic infrastructure.
At the heart of Nueva York Chronicles is an interactive map with pinpoints of cultural sites alongside a timeline of scholarship. Designed as an ever-evolving repository, the map and timeline will allow users to explore a rich archive of entries, scholarly essays, listen to oral histories, and browse archival images. Each entry in Nueva York Chronicles is organized according to Historia’s six thematic tracks, from migration and spiritual belief, material culture and archives, labor and commerce, everyday poetics to embodied heritage, connecting oral histories, archival records with commissions and editorial essays produced throughout the initiative.
As part of this initiative, CENTRO will contribute to the Nueva York Chronicles, a living digital chronotope mapping Latinx presence across movements, places, and generations. We’re honored to collaborate and help uplift the stories that shape our city. Stay tuned as we share archival materials, #OnThisDay anniversaries, and more from Nuyorican History for the digital map!
