Travel across Honduras with Garifuna teacher Cesar Vargas and filmmaker Eli LaBan as they document traditional Wanaragua songs—vibrant expressions of regional Afro-Indigenous resistance and identity. Documenting performance and community conversations, their short film offers an intimate look at the urgent effort to preserve the endangered language and culture of the Garifuna people.
Following the film, join us for a Q&A with the filmmakers moderated by Prof. Deb Thomas (Anthropology).
This event is co-sponsored by the Center for Experimental Ethnography.
