Sep 10, 2019

Welcome to La Historia Society's Roots in California: Concepts of Home, an immersive exhibition that delves deep into the rich history, cultural heritage, and diverse narratives that make up the vibrant tapestry of the Golden State.

Exploring the History of California

California has a fascinating history shaped by various cultures, migrations, and events. Through this exhibition, we aim to shed light on the intricate roots that have shaped the state and its communities.

From the early Native American tribes who cherished the land long before the arrival of European explorers, to the Spanish missions that left a lasting mark on the landscape, California's history is a mosaic of stories waiting to be discovered.

Connecting Communities and Cultures

At La Historia Society, we firmly believe in the power of storytelling to build bridges between different communities and cultures. This exhibition seeks to celebrate the diverse range of identities and experiences that come together to define California as a whole.

Through interactive displays, multimedia presentations, and engaging narratives, visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the many waves of migration, the contributions of different ethnic communities, and the traditions that have taken root in California.

Exploring Concepts of Home

Home means different things to different people. It can be tied to a specific place, a cherished memory, or a sense of belonging. In this exhibition, we aim to unpack the various concepts of home that exist within California's diverse communities.

Whether exploring the legacy of the early gold rush settlers who sought fortune and a new home in the West, or delving into the stories of immigrants who sought refuge and opportunity in the state, visitors will gain a deeper appreciation for the varied notions of home that shape our society.

Uncover Hidden Stories

California's history is brimming with countless stories waiting to be discovered. From the struggles and triumphs of the civil rights movement to the experiences of different ethnic groups during wartime, this exhibition provides a platform for these often-overlooked narratives to be heard.

Through rare archival photographs, first-hand accounts, and thought-provoking exhibits, visitors will have the opportunity to uncover the hidden stories of California's diverse communities and reflect upon their own place in this rich tapestry of history.

Preserving and Sharing our Heritage

La Historia Society is committed to preserving and sharing the cultural heritage of California. This exhibition is just one of the many initiatives we undertake to ensure that the stories and experiences of all communities are celebrated and remembered.
