About
NuevaYorkinos

Esmeralda and Octavio Lopez en la casa de Tia Juana. 142 Brook Avenue, Mott Haven, The Bronx, 1970s.

NuevaYorkinos is a digital archival and multimedia project preserving ÑYC Latino and Caribbean culture and history through family photographs, videos, and stories. Established in February 2019, NuevaYorkinos seeks submissions from Latino and Caribbean New Yorkers, taken within the five boroughs, before 2010. For historically marginalized communities, storytelling is an act of decolonization and, in a city whose Black, Brown, and immigrant communities find themselves in a constant fight against displacement, a way to combat gentrification. By showcasing stories from across the city, NuevaYorkinos celebrates the collective beauty, love, and resiliency of immigrant New York. By Djali Brown-Cepeda and Ricardo Castañeda

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 exhibir historias de toda la ciudad, NuevaYorkinos celebra la belleza colectiva, el amor y la resiliencia de los inmigrantes de Nueva York. Por Djali Brown-Cepeda y Ricardo Castañeda
