CENTRO X Cumbre - Sites of Black Memory Symposium (Virtual)

Cumbre Afro is coming to New York for the first time and will be ending in East Harlem, nestled between two prominent archives, The Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College (CENTRO) and the NYPL's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. This year's theme for Cumbre Afro, Sites of Black Memory: Our Ancestors, Archives, and Arts, dedicated to Arturo Schomburg and produced in collaboration with PR-AFRO at UPR, is an opportunity to celebrate afrolatinidad memory in the age of divisiveness; a reminder of our shared experiences as Black Diasporic peoples. By recognizing the privilege of academics in universities and non-profit organizations, the Afro Summit makes resources available to communities to form alliances, establish networks, and share historically invisibilized and marginalized experiences.
