SUMMARY:Making History: Building the National Museum of the American Latino
DESCRIPTION:The Connecticut Museum of Culture and History is honored to host Jorge Zamanillo\, founding director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Latino\, as he discusses the past\, present\, and future of the Smithsonian’s newest museum. \nIn this dynamic presentation\, Jorge Zamanillo will share the vision\, process\, and next steps in developing the Smithsonian’s newest museum\, which honors the dreams\, challenges\, and triumphs of U.S. Latinos\, and elevates Latino stories within the nation’s narrative. He will discuss the journey from congressional authorization to planning and design\, and the collaborative process shaping a museum that reflects the diversity\, creativity\, and resilience of Latinos nationwide. \nThe presentation will also highlight how the museum is building meaningful partnerships across the country to ensure that Latino stories are not only represented in Washington\, D.C. but are rooted in communities nationwide. Special attention will be given to how institutions like the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History\, and neighborhoods such as Hartford’s North End\, can play a vital role in shaping and participating in this national effort. \nThis program offers an opportunity to learn how a national museum is being built with community at its heart and how Connecticut’s Latino communities can help inform and inspire its future. \nThis program is free to attend\, but seats are limited.
