Program in Latin American Studies
Over spring break, our class took an eight-day journey through Mexico City, generously funded by the Program in Latin American Studies (PLAS) and the Learning Across Borders program (LABs) here at Princeton.
On April 25th I took my students to New York City to experience its soundscapes (music, voice, silence, and "noise"). We were interested in issues of locality and belonging, as sounds often point to or uncover places that are not there.

The water pipe on my street broke in October 2018 and was repaired in February 2019. During these four months, water gushed under the pavement and then broke through, leaking for about 4 feet before joining the sewers, which were right next to it. At night, we could hear the deafening noise of this short but turbulent river.
A leading voice in Latin American studies, Rossana Reguillo has given us a new vocabulary for understanding the ultra-contemporary forms of violence that shape not only her native Mexico, but which have come to condition global politics and visual culture in the twenty-first century.
This exhibition presents more than fifty Mexican retablos, folk paintings dedicated to Christ, the Virgin Mary, or saints to commemorate a miraculous event.
Gustavo Dudamel—the 2018-2019 Artist-in-Residence—will come to campus in a range of roles that showcase his dedication to revolutionizing music's capacity to bring people together and serve as a platform for world change.
