Season 5: Episode 3 Title: The Libros/arte and Cartonera exhibit: What is a book? In this Episode, UAlbany student Claudia Piqué discusses the exhibition “Libros/Arte: Handmade Books from Latin America & the Caribbean” at the University Art Museum, which is the first bilingual exhibit at the University at Albany Museum.

The Libros/Arte and Cartoneras show a story of resistance from communities in Latin America and the Caribbean as to who owns knowledge and how it is passed. The creation of this exhibit is due to the hard work and dedication of LLC Librarian Jesus Alonso Regalado, who collected books from all over Latin America for over a year, and the curators Dr. Ilka Kressner and Dr. Alejandra Bronfman. Thank you for creating this beautiful exhibit. The Libros/Arte: Handmade from Latin America and the Caribbean exhibit is showcased at the University Museum until the end of the Fall 2023 semester.

Oneika Raymond dials into South Central, Los Angeles, where local cycling enthusiast Michelle Moro takes us for a tour in her beloved hometown. Born and raised in South Central, Michelle knows her neighborhood inside and out - but she still takes the time to explore like a traveler when she documents her bike rides on her TikTok, @miche1ada. To showcase the past and present of historic South Central, Michelle hops on her glittery blue bike for a ride up South Central Avenue, one of the longest roads in the city. She begins the tour at the intersection of South Central and East Slauson Avenue, where she quickly points out the Snack Shack, a red and yellow stand that's been serving burgers and fries since 1941. Michelle's first stop on the tour is the original site of the Dunbar Hotel, where jazz legends like Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington stayed when they performed next door at Club Alabam between the 1920's and 1940's. Today the hotel is a home for elderly community members, though its historic brick facade, lobby, and grand entryway have been preserved in recognition of the Dunbar's significance to the neighborhood. Michelle pays tribute to the rich history of the avenue before moving on to grab breakfast at Delicious at the Dunbar, a restaurant serving a mix of soul food and Mexican specialties. From there, she sets off on foot down Central Avenue to take in the community-informed murals being installed by South Central Arts as part of the Green Alleys Network. While there, Michelle bumps into artist José Cruz and South Central Arts founder Will Flores, who share how the project is both inspired by and reflective of the community that call South Central home.To end the day, Oneika and Michelle sit down to discuss the benefits of slowing down to really get to know a place and how local organizations are helping Los Angeles visitors and locals alike do just that. To read full episode transcripts from About the Journey and see photos of each featured destination, head to About the Journey on Marriott Bonvoy Traveler.
