OUR PHILOSOPHY
NuevaYorkinos is a digital archive and multimedia project created by Djali Brown-Cepeda and Ricardo Castañeda, preserving ÑYC Latino and Caribbean culture and history pre-2010, through family histories and visual media. For historically marginalized communities, we view storytelling as an act of decolonization and, in a city whose Black, Brown, and immigrant communities find themselves in a constant battle against displacement, a way to combat gentrification. By curating a robust collection of photos and stories from across the boroughs, our work celebrates the beauty, love, and resilience of immigrant New York.

Para las comunidades históricamente marginadas, contar historias es un acto de descolonización y, en una ciudad cuyas comunidades negras, latinas e inmigrantes se encuentran en una lucha constante contra el desplazamiento, una manera de combatir la gentrificación. Al seleccionar una sólida colección de fotos e historias de todos los condados, nuestro trabajo celebra la belleza, el amor y la resiliencia de los inmigrantes de Nueva York.
