#LMSP2017 Fellow Takeover: Carlos Francisco Parra

My time in the Smithsonian Latino Center’s Latino Museum Studies Program (LMSP) was one of the most significant experiences I have had in my doctoral studies. As a graduate student, a great deal of the work I must accomplish – research, reading, writing – is often done on an individual level, which can induce a state of isolation at times. Despite the archival-focused nature of most history dissertations, my study into the development of Spanish-language media in Los Angeles requires me to look beyond the limited institutional archival holdings that relate to this topic and instead engage persons involved with these media outlets as well as to look for a variety of objects that can help me piece together the story I am trying to retell.

Building upon the skills I have honed during my graduate program, the LMSP has allowed me to not only engage with the material objects and archival holdings related to Spanish-language broadcasting held at the National Museum of American History (NMAH) but to also build strong connections with distinguished historians and NMAH curators Kathleen Franz and Mireya Loza. Working with Drs. Franz and Loza I have broadened my understanding of what I am researching by exploring the different archival objects they have collected for the NMAH’s “Spanish-Language Broadcasting Collection” which covers a wide range of topics, personalities, and communities ranging from the humble origins of Spanish-language television at KCOR-TV (later KWEX-TV) in San Antonio, Texas (one of the precursors for the Univision media leviathan) to the personal recollections of Puerto Rican theater, movie, and telenovela actress Gilda Mirós. In this point in my research I have become aware of the dearth and difficulty of finding extant primary documents from Spanish-language television and radio stations from the early years of these industries. The ephemeral nature of broadcast media also complicates the ability of researchers to reconstruct historical narratives and provide analysis on these broadcasts’ contents. Through their resources at NMAH, Drs. Franz and Loza have made important strides in gathering a growing collection of oral histories and artifacts pertinent to the story of la televisión en español en los Estados Unidos.

During the summer I wrote finding aids for items within this collection, including one for Ms. Miros and another for the popular 1985 Telemundo telenovela Tainairí. Part of my responsibilities also included transcribing an oral history interview with an important figure in the early history of KMEX-TV Channel 34, the first Spanish-language TV station in Los Angeles. Working with these documents and objects is exciting because they are pieces of a greater narrative that still must be retold and studied by scholars. In the case of Gilda Miros’s career, it is exciting to historicize her trajectory as a Puerto Riqueña in telenovelas, journalism, the stage and even the big screen in her appearances in Nuyorican and Mexican films in the 1960s (the latter of which included appearances in films from the waning years of Mexican Cinema’s golden age with her role in the 1967 movie El Santo Contra la Invasión de los Marcianos (El Santo vs. The Martian Invasion). In my work with Tainairí I consulted NMAH’s growing collection on documents related to Telemundo to describe this successful 1985 telenovela produced in the network’s founding station, WKAQ-TV in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Starring Von Marie Mendez and Juan Ferrara in a series produced by Diomara Ulloa and directed by playwright Dean Zayas, Tainairí is a historical fiction telenovela which explored the struggle for abolition in late colonial Puerto Rico and examined race, gender, sexuality, and class. Tainairí is memorable as well for being one of the last great telenovelas produced by Telemundo before the rise of the network on the continental U.S. after 1987 and the ascendancy of the Miami affiliate WSCV-TV in novela production.

Beyond helping me see the larger picture of the dissertation project I am grappling with, Drs. Franz and Loza provided me with a great deal of career advice in how to enhance my scholarly career in these early stages. The enormous contribution LMSP has thus far provided to my career is also highlighted in the numerous professional relationships this experience has allowed me within NMAH and the different branches of the Smithsonian Institution. As a former high school teacher, one of my biggest motivations as a graduate student is to develop a way of linking my passion for history and learning with the larger public and leaving an educational impact on it. The public history/curatorial aspects of the LMSP curriculum has shown me some ways in which I can engage with the public at large and make scholarly work relevant. From building new professional relationships, to new friendships with other talented up-and-coming scholars, to living in such a culturally-vibrant and historically-rich city like Washington, D.C., the Latino Museum Studies Program has left an indelible mark on my long-term trajectory as a scholar and as an individual.

Following Dr. Kathleen Franz’s guidance on best practices for object handling, I inspect a pair of sneakers donated by Dunia Elvir, a Honduran American anchor at Telemundo 52 KVEA-TV in Los Angeles, California. Dunia’s sneakers feature a hand-drawn toucan bird, the Honduran flag, and a small Telemundo 52 logo, all crafted by one of Dunia’s fans.

In addition to learning about the provenance of the material objects held in NMAH’s Spanish Language Broadcast Collection, I learned about the proper method of handling these and other material objects so that they may not wear out over time and thus be available to future scholars.

Museum-level object handling practices were greatly impressed upon us during the summer 2017 Smithsonian Latino Museum Studies Program. Here I examine and handle objects from the Smithsonian’s Bracero Oral History Project along with LMSP fellows Veronica Mendez and Daniela Jimenez. In addition to learning about curatorial theory and practice, working with other emerging scholars was one of the most rewarding experiences I had during my time with the LMSP.

Hullo! I know that you made some autistic support needs flags, but I was wondering if you had/could make a low-medium autistic support flag?

I hope you have a good week!

Low-Medium Autistic Support Flag

Anyone who is low support needs but can't live 100% independently and/or have many difficulties doing such, seems like a combination of low and medium support. Can be abbreviated online or in writing as LMSP for Low-Medium Support Person or LMSAP for Low-Medium Support Autistic Person.

[Image ID: A yellowed green flag with a symbol in the middle. A large navy blue circle is in the middle, inside there is a pastel rainbow infinity symbol. The flag is made up of three horizontal bands, the middle one being much smaller. The colors are, in order, pastel yellowed green, yellowed green, pastel yellowed green.]

[Image ID: An overall yellowed green flag with a navy blue circle surounded by a circle of the same color in the middle. Inside that round there is a infinty pastel symbol. There are seven horizontal stripes of the same size. Their colors are, from top to bottom, pastel yellowed green, yellowed green, dark yellowed green, navy blue, dark yellowed green, yellowed green and pastel yellowed green.]

Che non mi fiderò mai Che di altri mille colpi Si riempirà questa schiena stanca Delle troppe battaglie vissute. Ma tu, Che sei rimasta in prima linea Tra le schiere del mio esercito Combattendo contro me stesso Tra il giusto e l'amare Come il primo cavaliere.Combatteremo,Ma volendo la stessa cosa Come una treccia di rose che ci unisce Tanto bella Quanto dolorosa, Del sangue dei nostri ti amo si bagnerà il mondo, Faremo l'amore, senza stancarci mai Vivremo spudoratamente Con la gola piena di insulti Ma il cuore pieno di baci,Perché alla fine è ciò che siamo noi, Un incontro pazzo Tra ciò che si vive E ciò che si ama Ma forse la paura di smettere Di non essere più attorniato da rose Di essere solo una spina nel tuo desiderio, Mi fa tornare ciò che sono nel profondo, Un ragazzo ucciso mille volte, Con il cuore spezzato Divampato nella cenere più morta Che di fiducia non ne sa il significato, Ma che tu sei riuscita a comprendere E a fargli capire l'esistenza di quella parola, Che tanto entrambi sognavano nel profondo" -LMSP

#LMSP2017 Fellow Takeover: Christina Azahar

¡Saludos a todxs! My name is Christina Azahar, a half Salvadoran/half gringa, born and raised in Georgia. I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate in Ethnomusicology at the University of California, Berkeley. Thank you for reading through my #FellowTakeover to learn more about my #LMSP2017 experience!

As an ethnomusicologist, I’m broadly interested in how music functions as a form of community-making, and how it can sustain movements toward social justice. My dissertation research, titled “Noisy Women, Imagined Spaces: Gender, Mobility, and Sound in Chile’s Popular Music Scenes,” examines how contemporary Chilean women artists like Ana Tijoux and Pascuala Ilabaca use sound as a way to navigate the physical and figurative spaces of post-dictatorship Chile. I also have also written on protest song during El Salvador’s civil war, and have a passion for teaching music in the U.S. Civil Rights era. 

So, what brings me to the Latino Museum Studies Program? In 2013 I interned at Smithsonian Folkways Recordings under curator Daniel Sheehy to gain firsthand experience conducting album research and promotion. After seeing the range of ways music fit into exhibits and programs across the institution, I wanted to find a way to develop my research skills while also gaining experience in museum outreach and education. This is what led me to apply for the Latino Museum Studies Program practicum at SITES, the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service.

SITES functions as an exhibit ambassador for the Smithsonian outside of Washington D.C., so the office’s primary role is to travel exhibits to community centers, museums, college campuses, and other venues around the country. More than a collection of objects or banners, these traveling exhibits are meant to serve as catalysts in each community for public programming, outreach, and educational activities. 

My practicum lead, Maria del Carmen Cossu, is the Project Director for Latino Initiatives at SITES. Her role involves developing exhibitions that further an understanding of the U.S. Latino experience, creating culturally sensitive community engagement and educational resources to be circulated with the exhibits, and (lucky for me!) mentoring emerging Latinx professionals in museum studies. 

One of the things I’ve enjoyed most about my SITES practicum has been seeing how this office collaborates with staff and curators from across the Smithsonian. From going to off-site storage units to prepare banners for shipping, to sitting in on project proposal meetings with staff from the National Museum of American History, in my four weeks here I’ve come to understand how different Latino traveling exhibits come together from start to finish.

The main SITES exhibit I’ve worked on this summer is “Dolores Huerta: Revolution in the Fields/Revolución en los Campos,” an adaptation of the exhibit “One Life: Dolores Huerta” curated by Dr. Taína Caragol at the National Portrait Gallery. One of the main goals for the summer was to develop a new traveling exhibit script and create a storyboard for interviews with Dolores to be included as an AV addition to the text and images. In the script and AV footage, we wanted to provide an intimate look at Dolores’s personal life while also celebrating her role as an organizer of the California Farmworkers movement, and contextualizing her work within the broader civil rights movements occurring in the 1960s.  

There’s so much to tell about Dolores Huerta’s history and the history of the Farmworkers movement which can’t fit into a single banner exhibit, so I also worked to develop educational activities and community outreach topics which would be published as resources to complement the exhibition. One deliverable was a lesson plan on protest song and cultural revival in the Farmworkers movement in which students learn how Chicano music became a tool for organizing strikes and promoting union activity. I also proposed that SITES draw on the history of Filipino and Chicano collaboration in the movement to create outreach materials which will spark conversations acknowledging the history and potential of inter-racial solidarity and political organizing across the country.  

As I wrap up my time at the Smithsonian, I realize on the one hand that I’m hugely inspired by the cutting-edge exhibitions and programming being done here to support Latinx culture and community. I mean, the Smithsonian has a “Latinx Digital Curator” position? That’s amazing! On the other hand, I’m hugely overwhelmed by the immense challenges of sharing Latinx stories with broader audiences without eliminating voices or diminishing experiences of struggle. Rather than attempt to reconcile these complex issues now though, I look forward to staying in touch with the brilliant Latinx scholars, activists, and cultural workers I’ve met here to continue imagining new ways of serving our communities, and celebrating our art in all its many forms.
