Projects

Projects supported and developed by SDCELAR.

SDCELAR works together with research partners and community collaborators in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our projects promote transdisciplinary approaches and plurivocal perspectives to interpreting and engaging with collections, ranging from heritage initiatives, artistic residencies, and scientific analysis to collaborative documentation, archival digitisation and 3D modelling.

These pages have been collaboratively conceived in order to share the Centre’s past and ongoing projects.
