ASSIGNMENT: Due by June 24, Monday (midnight)
Create an oral history digital archive project via our class history pin on a Chicanx/Latinx (family member or friend). The purpose of this project is to document the experiences within the focus of this course including activism, resistance and social justice, which can occur in public (e.g. work) and private spaces (e.g. home).
TASK:
Your task is to create a digital photo archive of one Chicanx-Latinx individual by posting 5 images/pins, each with its own detailed paragraph description, of its meaning-significance. Images can be of the person’s past (i.e. childhood photos), your interview process, their occupation, and the communities they emerge from (perhaps they migrated and have photos of their previous homes).
SUBMISSION FORMAT:
Step #1: Please go to HistoryPin.comLinks to an external site. and create a username and password (full name preferred). Look for CLS 3300-01 Summer 2024 Cal State LALinks to an external site. (will provide the log in below for my account to log in and submit work)
Step #2: In paragraph form, provide descriptions for each of the five pins (images) documenting the stories/histories/testimonios (narratives) of one member of the Chicanx-Latinx community. It can be a family member (i.e. parent, grandparent, sibling). If your family does not identify as Latine, then you can choose a friend from the Chicanx-Latinx community. 200-300 words per pin. Since this is a public archive, be sure to use zip codes as an indicator – do not use any of your personal addresses or street names.
CRITERIA FOR SUCCESS:
Please have fun with this project, and really think about all of the different things that go into identity – such as the impact of race, class and gender on your interviewee. The purpose is to highlight key experiences of your person so that we gain an understanding of their story.
