Transplanting Traditions
This year’s theme of Transplanting Traditions honors our shared Latinx heritage, recognizing that many of our customs, communities, and cultures have been transplanted across the world. Though aspects of Latinx culture have been taken by mainstream society, this month celebrates the ways in which Latinx communities cultivate and spread our traditions–through generations, and to new spaces. From our native plants and cultural foods, to beauty trends and Latin beats, our heritage flourishes far and wide. We are proud to honor our roots as we continually adapt to new soils. Join us this month to celebrate, learn about, and uplift Latinx heritage.
