Migration, whether forced or voluntary, has shaped Latin American societies and their sense of identity. But how have these movements of people and goods contributed to distinct ideas of "latin americanness"?
Conversation between Carmen Aguirre, award-winning Chilean-Canadian author, actor, playwright, and Nuno Porto, curator at the Museum of Anthropology.
Carmen talked about her own experience of displacement, while Nuno used objects from the museum’s collection to explore the shared experience of diaspora across cultures and regions of Latin America.

Racism(s): Latin America & Identity is a programming partnership between the Vancouver Latin American Cultural Centre and the Vancouver Public Library that consists of a 5-part online event series. Our intent is to explore the diversity of identities that form the Latin American experience, and help the public understand how Latin American immigrants in Canada experience racism and develop their sense of belonging.
