Please join us for a special presentation by Roberto Santos Pérez, Director of the Centro Cultural de Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca, Mexico.
“Radio Power: Rescuing Indigenous Heritage and Raising a Mixtec Cultural Center”
Monday, November 4, 2010 — 4:00–5:30 PM — Allen Hall 139
The Cultural Center in Tlaxiaco sponsors a project called the “Archivo de la Palabra” (Archive of the Spoken Word), which involves recording and archiving oral traditions of Mixtec speakers. Radio programs are also aired in Mixtec and include the sharing of local lore.
The talk is being co-sponsored by Ethnic Studies, Education Studies, the Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies, the Latin American Studies Program, the School of Journalism and Communications, and the Wired Humanities Projects (Knight Library and the Center for Advanced Technology in Education).
