Latin America Museums and Art Exhibit The format and due date for the final paper are listed in the syllabus.
Remember that for this paper you have to go somewhere related to Latin America. Write about an event you attended THIS SEMESTER (i.e. don’t submit an essay about the trip you took to Puerto Rico over the summer).
Submit with your paper PROOF that you attended the event. For example, a photo of yourself at the event, a copy of the ticket, etc. Points will be deducted for papers that are submitted without this.
In the past, I’ve had students go to:
– Museums and art exhibits related to Latin America
– Plays (that are in Spanish or related to Latin American culture)
– Latin American parades and festivals
– Family events such as weddings, bridal showers, christenings (bautizos) where the family is of Latin American descent
– Salsa night at a local club
– Botanicas (small local Latino/an owned stores that focus on spirituality and religious items)
– Latin American/Latino event on campus.
I’ve posted some suggestions below. You are not limited to these choices. I will try to update the list throughout the semester so please keep checking back. I’ve set this up as a shared page so that you can post your own recommendations and ideas. Please add to the list – thanks and enjoy!
