Field Observation: National Hispanic Cultural Center




Sonora: During our field observation at the National Hispanic Cultural Center located in the Barelas Neighborhood on 4th and Avenída Cesar Chávez, I found myself in a very familiar place. As I was observing the outside infrastructure, the foyer was quiet and empty, the tall stairs adjacent to the Art Museum seemed like the mimicry the ancient pyramids in Mexico. The site also had flagpoles of the different countries in Latin America. The positioning of these flagpoles were very interesting because at the very front was Spain’s flag, excluded from the other flags. I also noticed that there was no Mexican flag, which I also thought was curious.
