Grant Description

The project documents the Afro-Colombian community of San Basilio de Palenques oral histories and documents other cultural expressions (food, music, land use patterns), a community dating back to the 1600s.

A photographic exhibit and video documentary will build national and international awareness of the "living history" represented by the Palenque community.
