Map: Memory Sites in Santiago
In July and August of 2018, Dr. Tamara Feinstein and student researchers Janis Broder (SLU) and Ryan Hutchins (SUNY Potsdam) conducted field work in Santiago, Chile in order to gather documentation and interviews to historically contextualize the arpilleras in our collection. This included visits to key memory sites in the city. Janis Broder created this story map to highlight these important sites.
