UNTOLD STORIES OF THE BORDERLANDS
A Road Trip to Reclamar, Celebrar, and Preservar
The Untold Stories of the Borderlands is a storytelling road trip across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, led by Latinos in Heritage Conservation (LHC). Our mission is to celebrar y proteger las diversas historias, culturas y paisajes of the Mexico–U.S. borderlands—amplifying the voices and experiences of Latinx communities whose stories are often fuera de los relatos convencionales.
Through this road trip, we highlight places of gran importancia —from ancestral homelands and sacred sites to barrios moldeados por la migración y la resiliencia. The team will also be capturing oral histories and imagery from community members that preserve and protect these spaces. Through this project honraremos el poder de la memoria comunitaria, challenge harmful policies and colonial histories, and centraremos el liderazgo latino en la configuración del futuro de la preservación.
