Blank Cuaderno

Title
Blank Cuaderno
Description
The year 2020 was defined by the COVID-19 global pandemic, which decimated many families and communities in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado where heirs to the unique Indo-Hispano cultural heritage of the region often refer to themselves as Manitos. In response, the Manito Community Memory Project (MCMP), with support from the American Recovery Act, National Endowment for the Humanities, initiated a series of publications to help Manitos address the trauma of the pandemic through connection to their history, cultural heritage, and to each other.

The blank booklet was designed by MCMP interns to evoke the leatherbound cuadernos, small notebooks or journals, that have been used historically by Manitos to record all types of information. It invites Manitos to continue the tradition by recording their own reflections and stories of the COVID-19 pandemic in words and images.
