Culturally Mapping Albuquerque
A two-year project collaboration of university
faculty and high school teachers to study the relationship between migration
and cultural heritage preservation in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The
Culturally Mapping Albuquerque project brings together scholars, educators,
cultural workers, and students to collect, analyze, and interpret narratives on
the relationship between migration and cultural heritage preservation in the
city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Over a 24-month period, faculty from across
the US and UNM, high school teachers from Albuquerque Public Schools, and
cultural workers from the city of Albuquerque will meet in workshops,
roundtables, and a major public symposium to develop humanistic understandings
of the ways human mobility and cultural heritage efforts shape city landscapes.
The city of Albuquerque is a critical site of analysis because of its rich cultural
services and long history of multicultural and multi-ethnic communities.
Participants will examine Indigenous migration stories, artistic and literary
presentations of transcontinental settlement, and global art productions of
migrations and relocations that define New Mexicans in the 21st
century.
