Knowing these diverse Latine communities expands our sense of community beyond our profession. Last November in 2025, we met with Latine communities in New Orleans in partnership with two community groups, Familias Unidas en Acci\u00f3n and the Caribbean and New Orleans Arts (CANOA) Center, and Dominican musician Ferm\u00edn Ceballos and his band. Through a grant supported by the AAA, we hosted an evening of dialogue, music, dancing, and shared testimonios. A local food vendor sold flautas and tacos de cochinita pibil, a Yucat\u00e1n specialty, to feed our participants, co-hosts, and musicians.<\/p>\n<div class=\"uk-grid uk-grid-collapse uk-position-relative article-image-container\" uk-grid=\"\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"article-content-wrap article-content-wrap-2\">\n<div class=\"article-image-wrap\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Credit: <\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Gina G.

It happens because anthropologists take the labor of relationship-building with organizations and cultural workers already embedded in community life seriously.\u00a0<em>Convivencia\u00a0<\/em>takes work as critical spaces of communication, where testimonies, life stories, pl\u00e1ticas, generational knowledge, and experiences are shared. There is concrete methodological, theoretical, and ethical value in sitting with members of local nonprofits before, not after, we claim to understand a place.\u00a0<em>Convivios<\/em>, living with and among one another in joy, struggle, and celebration, are relational and collective learning spaces and events used in community organizing and celebrations. Familias Unidas en Acci\u00f3n (FUA), an immigrant rights organization, holds institutional memory and a pulse on a community\u2019s crises, resilience, and everyday needs that no archival research or short-term fieldwork can replicate. Meeting with FUA in person before the event reoriented our purpose. We were not there to extract stories for our own advancement, but to offer presence, resources, and accompaniment\u2014a platform for relationship-building that could outlast a single conference visit and signal our solidarity with their struggles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our planning unfolded over months of emails, Zoom calls, and phone calls with Ferm\u00edn, Leticia, and Marcela Hern\u00e1ndez from FUA. Building trust to host an event during our annual meeting required consistency and perseverance. In a climate of fear and distrust, we recognized that asking people to gather and share stories of their struggles carried real risk. We learned about the history of migration from Honduras in particular, often by AfroLatines who faced grueling journeys through Central America and Mexico to reach New Orleans. We shared our ALLA website, with photos and biographies of our board members, and made our case for a meeting of the minds\u2014collaboration and celebration together\u2014through calls, texts, and emails.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This slow, relational approach made space for something that conferences rarely allow: mutual vulnerability. FUA staff and community members were not simply informants answering our questions; they were partners deciding, on their own terms, how much of their organizing work, fears, and joys to share with visiting scholars. That shifts anthropology from observation toward accompaniment, where trust is earned through follow-through, patience, and a willingness to adapt our timelines to the rhythms of frontline organizing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arriving in New Orleans in November 2025, Dra. Mar\u00eda Cruz Torres (ASU), Dr. Patricia Zavella (UCSC, emerita), and I visited a neighborhood home that serves as FUA\u2019s headquarters\u2014an open seating area and a backyard food pantry used for meetings, social services, and public events. We learned of the organization\u2019s efforts to support people through crises, particularly COVID and Hurricane Katrina. Marcela, FUA\u2019s executive director, described the group\u2019s work distributing meals and networking with other immigrant rights organizations to share strategies for avoiding encounters with ICE and local law enforcement. Sitting with Marcela and Leticia revealed a benefit easy to underestimate: nonprofits already know how to hold space for hard conversations under real risk, protecting community members\u2019 safety and dignity while still allowing outsiders in. Anthropologists who partner with them gain not just access, but a working model of ethical engagement grounded in mutual aid rather than extraction. In a follow-up email, Marcela described the devastating impact of ICE raids on FUA\u2019s members\u2014detentions, family separations, and children left without parents\u2014a crisis compounding daily for their community.<\/p>\n<div class=\"uk-grid uk-grid-collapse uk-position-relative article-image-container\" uk-grid=\"\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"article-content-wrap article-content-wrap-2\">\n<div class=\"article-image-wrap\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Credit: <\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Gina G.

He shared that efforts to secure driving licenses for immigrants in New Orleans had failed. He later shared a new song, \u201cSuma y resta,\u201d about the economic contributions Latine communities make locally, statewide, and nationally. As a personal mission, Ferm\u00edn writes and performs music that elevates the call for humanitarian responses to immigration, understanding music\u2019s power to convene, gather, and build bridges across linguistic and cultural differences. He also raises support to buy instruments and school supplies for young musicians in the Dominican Republic. He remains an active FUA member, regularly organizing and playing at concerts and cultural celebrations in the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working alongside Ferm\u00edn revealed a different, equally important benefit: music carries knowledge that interviews and field notes cannot fully capture. Ferm\u00edn served as a broker between us and FUA, gathering input, scouting our venue at CANOA, and identifying participants willing to meet visiting anthropologists. His songs condense years of political argument, economic precarity, and communal pride into verses that an entire room can sing together. Partnering with musicians rooted in immigrant communities gives anthropologists access to a form of collective testimonio\u2014performed and embodied rather than mediated solely through transcription. Ferm\u00edn\u2019s brokering meant that the evening\u2019s knowledge was co-created in real time through call-and-response, dance, and laughter. We met immigrants from Central America, mainly Honduras, and the Caribbean, some of whom had lived in New Orleans for decades. We learned how generations of immigrants have built relationships with the city through trade, education, music, language, and culture\u2014part of New Orleans\u2019 origins and its ongoing fusion of Indigenous, African, Spanish, French, and Latine cultures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Time felt both urgent and elastic in planning this event for months. FUA had more pressing things to attend to, on the front lines of daily survival, while we operated from the relative distance of academic space. We tried to consider the organization\u2019s needs before asking anything of them, and patience mattered as much as persistence in securing both a date and funding.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question is: how can we, as ALLA members, stay connected at this <em>encuentro<\/em> (encounter)? This question may be the truest measure of whether this encounter was worthwhile. The value of meeting with local nonprofits and musicians isn\u2019t contained within a single evening\u2014it lies in what the relationship makes possible next. Because we invested time building trust beforehand, we left New Orleans with more than fond memories. We left with a concrete list of needs\u2014transportation, meals, know-your-rights information, instruments, and school supplies for young musicians in the Dominican Republic\u2014that our association can support long after the conference ends. Community-engaged anthropology of this kind resists the extractive pattern in which scholars parachute into a city, gather what they need, and disappear. Instead, it models reciprocity as an ongoing practice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Friday, November 21, 2025, we gathered at CANOA, brought together in dance and celebration by Ferm\u00edn Ceballos\u2019 band. There, we heard testimonios from Honduran and Venezuelan immigrants who had made New Orleans home. By the evening\u2019s end, we reflected on the value of carving out space for community\u2014for breathing and aching together for a few hours\u2014and on the work still ahead. Marcela and Leticia shared their stories and invited ALLA members to stay in communication and community with them. There were expressions of gratitude and solidarity because, for a few hours, we took the time to connect, dance, pause, reflect, and feel alive in a shared space.<\/p>\n<div class=\"uk-grid uk-grid-collapse uk-position-relative article-image-container\" uk-grid=\"\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"article-content-wrap article-content-wrap-2\">\n<div class=\"article-image-wrap\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Credit: <\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Gina G.

Together, they showed us that the borders between researchers and communities are porous, and that some of the most meaningful anthropological insights may not be written down. They are sung, danced, shared over a plate of <em>flautas<\/em> or <em>tacos de cochinita pibil<\/em>, and carried forward in the commitments we make to one another after the music stops.
