Defining 'Querencia' with environmental activist and documentarian Jack Loeffler

"Connection with place scratches" at the surface of the meaning behind "querencia." The audio component of the exhibit begins with a definition by Leffler's friend Enrique la Madrid-- "Querencia is a folk concept. It's a sense of belonging. It's a sense of rootedness. Querencia is the place where you know you belong. Sometimes it's the place where you're born. It's mobile. You can develop a new querencia in a new place. But how do you set down roots in a new place? There's many ways of doing that, of becoming part of a new place."Stay tuned for parts two and three of this series.
