Celebrating the transformative impact of Latinx communities in New York City

Historias is an expansive citywide initiative that weaves scholarly research, oral histories, and cultural programming to re-center Latinx narratives in NYC. Unfolding between 2024 and 2026, presented by The Clemente in partnership with LxNY, with lead support from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Historias marks the largest initiative in The Clemente’s 30-year history.

Historias, meaning both histories and stories, is more than just a celebration—it is an urgent political intervention. Historias aims to fill voids in the collective understanding of New York City's evolution by presenting a more honest, thorough, and intersectional perspective that celebrates the profound impact of Latinx communities.
