Description: Digital Humanities projects such as Documenting the Now, The Ferguson Project, Chicana por mi Raza have demonstrated the importance and necessity to preserve and document social movements in the United States. Similarly, the protests against racial and gender discrimination in the U.S. has shown how those in power have imposed racist and mysoginic histories reflected through monuments, athems, local and national policies. Taking this into consideration, this panel will go over the work in Huellas Incómodas/Uncomfortable Footprints, a digital initiative that works towards the documentation, preservation and creation of a (digital)legacy of social movements in Latin America to have present a collective memory and the right to the truth from the struggles for a more just society.
