Description
On 4 February, Canning House's Forgotten Histories event brought together a panel to unearth fascinating legacies and stories long waiting to be heard of historic UK-Latin America ties. Dr Graciela Iglesias-Rogers demonstrated Britain's role as a hub for the Spanish-speaking world with an overview of the Hispanic-Anglosphere project's website and Online Exhibition. The project's work at Tyntesfield house with the National Trust has revealed the forgotten history of how Latin America is interwoven in the fabric of the building itself as a function of William Gibbs' success in the Peruvian guano trade, along with many other sites in the UK and around the world.A series of excellent audience contributions, covering topics from Colombian cemeteries to Argentine department stores, concluded the fascinating event.
