In Sehila Mota Casper’s first Ask Me Anything on August 16 @ 3pm EST, Dismantle Preservation attendees will have the opportunity to do just that on the new Discord channel. Visit the Latinos in Heritage Conservation website and social media channels - Facebook, Instagram to learn more about her work as Latino in Heritage Conservation’s inaugural Executive Director and to brainstorm questions for her.
Let’s learn more about the work Latinos in Heritage Conservation does, strategies to preserve Latino/a history, and more!
A social media challenge?!?!?
We want to challenge you to share a picture of a picture of a site connected to LatinX history and/or heritage on your social media account. It's as simple as:
Pick a site that you think everyone should know about! Could a place you visited on a trip, a neighborhood in your city, or a great meal from a legacy business. The site can be active or vacant or long gone - your choice!
Post picture of a site connected to LatinX history and/or heritage to social media (Twitter or Instagram). Feel free to throw some fun facts in your caption or reminisce about making tamales with your mom.
Use #LatinoHeritage and #DismantlePreservation to be entered into a raffle to win a Chavez Ravine inspired banner!
You need to post a picture of a site connected to LatinX history and/or heritage a using those hashtags by August 31 to be eligible for the raffle drawing; if you post on August 16, your post counts as two entries aka doubles your chance to win. The winner will be notified on September 1.
+ This is more than an AMA! We want you to make a post about Latino/a history in your community or that you’ve seen on travels on August 16, via your social media channels. Use the hashtags #DismantlePreservation and #LatinoHeritage.
