Parceleras will co-create a video of 7-9 minutes to document the history of Parceleras, as an organization, and La Conde, as a project. This video will be based on the narratives of displacement in the community in order to build more community awareness. They will also create an inventory of the already existing artifacts–photographs, documents, stories, interviews–and will conduct a qualitative analysis of the artifacts to develop themes that can articulate the history of Parceleras and la Conde. Artifacts created through the Community Interviews will serve to document the work happening at this moment in time. The third phase of the project will include workshops on radical imagination that will be developed in partnership with the community researchers that will then be added to a gallery called “Dreams and Futures.”
