My greatest fear is that we are suffering from amnesia … It’s a system of power that is always deciding in the name of humanity who deserves to be remembered and who deserves to be forgotten.
—Eduardo Galeano
VIDA IN NEW ORLEANS
PROVIDES A CULTURAL ARTS PLATFORM BY BRINGING TOGETHER
LATIN AMERICAN WRITERS, POETS, AND ACTIVISTS
TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTENCE OF OUR COMMUNITIES
IN THE NEW ORLEANS METRO AREA & TO AMPLIFY OUR VOICES.
The most neglected story of the city’s 2018 Tricentennial is the immense contribution Latin American immigrants have made to our epic reconstruction in the fifteen years post-Katrina. Our prime directive is to honor our immigrant communities' contribution
to our rebirth and acknowledge our long Latin legacy.

IN THIS ERA OF RAGING ANTI-IMMIGRANT HYSTERIA,
WE WILL NOT BE DISAPPEARED BY SO-CALLED SCHOLARS
EXACTING THEIR GATE-KEEPING WHITE PRIVILEGE TO RENDER
OUR LATIN AMERICAN COMMUNITY INVISIBLE!
WE WILL SHAPE OUR HISTORY.
WE WILL WRITE OUR OWN STORIES.
WE WILL SECURE OUR LATIN LEGACY.
Ashé y Adelante!
