Los Herederos

Los Herederos Non-Profit Organization Dedicated to Folk Art Media and Digital Content. "Inheriting Culture in the Digital Age"

Los Herederos/The Inheritors (LH) is a grassroots media folk arts organization dedicated to understanding the experience of inheriting culture in the digital age. We engage in research-based documentation for public consumption to produce projects, programs & services that address the realities of local culture, evolving communities, & an increasingly multilayered immigrant experience. We believe

in the power of transmedia storytelling to educate & encourage a more culturally aware, equitable & sustainable society. Central to our creative strategy is our interdisciplinary approach to ethnography, which seeks to connect local traditions with global issues. Working at the nexus of socially-engaged public art, public interest folklife & cultural sustainability work, we utilize responsive methodologies to:

Provide free access to educational media/digital collections on the subjects of local culture & folk arts practice

Lift the profiles of creatives in our midst & create platforms/spaces for our communities via new technologies

Engage & empower local people through collaborative community-centered documentation & autoethnography

Develop unique/holistic folklife-derived economic development & mutual aid projects

This summer Los Herederos - The Inheritors and LH Radio were pleased to partner with NYC Votes, a youth education program of the NYC Campaign Finance Board to share our story of building the city’s first and only subterranean radio and finding a home for a grassroots community arts organization within the largest transportation system in the country.

As always, we look to build infrastructure within our NYc communities and name our stake in their cultural futures.
