FYS: Atlas of Migrant Worlds: Latina/o/x New York City

Catalog description

This experiential course examines how Hispanic/Latino migrants have shaped New York City’s cultural landscape through visits to museums, neighborhoods, public art, and collaborations with local organizations, artists, and curators. Site visits include El Museo del Barrio in Spanish Harlem, Little Dominican Republic in Washington Heights, the Bronx Music Hall, the November Corto Circuito Latino Short Film Festival, and contact with Make the Road New York and the Mixteca Organization, both of which support Latin American immigrants. For the final project, students will create a collaborative Atlas of Migrant Wor(l)ds, a digital, interactive map that highlights migration histories and contemporary Hispanic/Latino community spaces across the city.
