Where We Were Safe

Description

"Where We Were Safe" is an ongoing interactive oral history archive that focuses on collecting memories about the lost and destroyed Salsa music places in New York City, such as ballrooms, clubs, record stores, and outdoor venues. By combining digital mapping and cultural memory, this project aims to reconstruct historical space and recover these sites' heritage through a lens of social, racial, and cultural dynamics that fed the Latin experience in the 1970s.To access the interactive map visit: www.whereweweresafe.orgFollow us on IG: @whereweweresafe
