Celebrating the Indigenous Americas is a week of virtual events hosted by the Latin American Studies Center at CU Boulder from March 1-5, 2021. All events are free and open to the public.
For five days, Indigenous artists, advocates, community leaders, educators, scholars and professionals will virtually come to the University of Colorado from different parts of the world to celebrate the ever-renewed presence of Latin American Indigenous languages and cultures in daily life, activities and professions. Planned panels and roundtables cover food sovereignty, bilingual education, social movements, land reclamation, migration, environmental justice, university-community partnerships, broadcasting and communication. We also invite audiences to join us for hip-hop concerts, poetry readings, cooking lessons, film screenings, and much more.
The Latin American Studies Center (LASC) provides an institutional space for research, teaching and discussion on Latin America and Latinx Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder. LASC brings together cross-disciplinary research and education, through our research clusters, Quechua language training, community events, new curriculum and outreach collaborations, strengthening links with Latin America and with communities of Latin American origin in the United States.
