ARCHIVES, MEMORY, & THE PRESENT PAST OF PUERTO RICO

April 30 , 10:00 am to April 30 , 7:00 pm

2180 3rd Ave, New York, New York

Free

We’re celebrating our Rooted + Relational Research initiative with a symposium aimed at contending with the material and theoretical importance of the archive in contemporary scholarship and research practices. Through a day of panels, the inaugural cohort of CENTRO research associates, hybrid-fellows, artists in residence, and dissertation fellow will engage with contestation, archival reckoning, archival architecture, facilities, and accessibility, and quotidian interventions and forms of archival refusal. Join us as we illuminate how CENTRO expands Puerto Rican studies and how we can best tend to its past and futures.
