What happens when memories are erased or rewritten? #Archives face increasing political pressures that threaten cultural memory and the democratic principles that sustain it.

Defend Democracy.❎ brings together archives from different geographies to reflect on fragility, power, risk, and strategies of resistance, promoting cultural exchange and strengthening the resilience of cultural institutions. ❎FILE NOT FOUND – Protect Archives.

Los viajes entre DC a NY nos llevan por encima de hermosos e importantes ríos como el Susquehanna (nombre de origen Lenape) que recorre 715 km desde la región central del estado de Nueva York, hasta llegar a unirse a la bahía del Chesapeake. Estos viajes son también meditaciones territoriales- siempre saludo a estas majestuosas aguas.

Presenting Amalia Cordova's new book Frames of Resistance; The Cinemas of Abya Yala. More info on the book: /book/59554?login=false On March 6, 5pm, @ 25 Waverly Place Kriser Theater we hope you'll join us for a BOOK LAUNCH and CONVERSATION In celebration of two outstanding books featuring the groundbreaking work of Indigenous film and media makers in the Americas, and transnationally. RSVP REQUIRED: https://wp.nyu.edu/.../friday-march-6-5-pm-frames-of.../ BOOK LAUNCH: FRAMES OF RESISTANCE: The Cinemas of Abya Yala by Amalia Córdova Hidalgo (2025, Oxford University Press), followed by a conversation with Robert Stam, author of the 2024 Bloomsbury publication, INDIGENEITY AND THE DECOLONIZING GAZE: Transnational Imaginaries, Media Aesthetics, And Social Thought. While contemporary Latin American cinema is recognized worldwide, FRAMES OF RESISTANCE: The Cinemas of Abya Yala highlights the lesser known cinema of Indigenous communities in the region, a territorial expanse known as Abya Yala. INDIGENEITY AND THE DECOLONIZING GAZE: Transnational Imaginaries, Media Aesthetics, And Social Thought spans national and transnational media, orchestrating a dialogue between the western mediated gaze, and the indigenous gaze itself, especially as incarnated in the burgeoning movement of “indigenous media”. #oxford #nyu #cinimasofabyayala #NYC #booklaunch #media #cultureandmedia
