April 28 | 7pm - 9pm AST
with Mario Gracia, Jomary Ortega, Rosaura Rodríguez y Lara Sánchez Morales
The Alliance (La Alianza) was filmed in Mameyes Arriba, Jayuya, alongside a group of friends who help care for the Tabonuco farm. It documents the search for a batey on their land, where Jesse Walter Fewkes excavated ceramic pieces that are now housed at the Smithsonian (Session 2). Building on this video, we will discuss strategies for recovering ancestral knowledge, practices rooted in the land and in local materials, and how to think about archaeology from the present and from Puerto Rico as a way of grounding ourselves.
