Anthony & Francis Almendárez: Navigating the Archives Within
Navigating the Archives Within questions how histories, cultural traditions, and personal experiences are kept and transmitted. The video captures an autoethnographic journey through Latinx misrepresentation, erasure, subordination, and subversion.

"Navigating the archives within What does that mean? Whom are we talking about? What are we appreciating? What are we negotiating?" - Francis Almendárez
Francis Almendárez is an artist, filmmaker, and educator working at the intersections of history, (auto)ethnography, and cultural production. In attempting to make sense of and reconstruct identity, he uses them as tools to address memory and trauma, specifically of im/migrant, queer, working-class bodies of Central America, the Caribbean, and the Diasporas.
The Screening Room Programme is an online public programme curated by Looking Forward.
