Collaborating With Fellow Advocates
It is our hopes that all non-Latine/x communities engage with Raices Chicago to tell more complete histories of this city.
The Coalition
The work of RAICES begins with a coalition of support to Latine/x organizations or groups to document their own history and that of their communities, facilitating and promoting research to activate the community archives, and funding and promoting humanities projects and programs for communities to further document and share their stories with the public.
Our Cultivation Practice
Cultivation work challenges the static preservation and collection of culture for one that is rooted in the collaborative nurture and care of people as the stewards of their culture.
Why Latine & Latinx
Raices will employ Latine/x terminology strategically to indicate geographical locations and the gender and sexual variance of these communities.
