FREE APPALACHIAN HERITAGE LECTURE SERIESCelebrating Latin American Culture in Appalachia
Join us for an evening of exploration and celebration as we highlight some of the unique pathways for food, music and art that have developed from the fusion of Latin American and Appalachian cultures. Featuring guest presenters Emily and Roderico Y. Diaz of Iximche Media. Based between Guatemala and the U.S., Roderico Y. Diaz is an indigenous Maya Kaqchikel independent photojournalist and documentary videographer and recipient of the Rubenstein Library Digital Storytelling Award. His work has focused on the struggle for justice after the genocide in Guatemala (1960-1996), indigenous rights, the legacy of colonialism and the lives of migrants living in the U.S. His perspective is informed by his own migration experience and as a survivor of the genocide in Guatemala. As a freelance photojournalist Diaz has worked for the Associated Press, The Guardian, and The Assembly. Únete a nosotros para celebrar!
*This event is free with prior registration, and runs in coordination with ‘Our American Neighbors’, a cultural exhibition coordinated with photographer Jeff Kessler, on display in the Carnegie Hall Museum Gallery, November-December 2025.
