“Route 66 Connected” by Donatella Davanzo - Speaker Event

Route 66 Connected.

Dr. Donatella Davanzo, Italian American cultural anthropologist, is a scholarly photoethnographer and instructor of visual anthropology.

“Route 66 Connected” by Dr. Donatella Davanzo is a multimedia exposition that proposes an innovative evaluation of the historic American highway on the eve of its centennial. By examining existing original resources in operation along the contemporary road in New Mexico, the presentation will enrich the public interest in the “Mother Road” history through a detailed photographic documentation and personal interviews. A variety of narratives concerning the heritage of Route 66 will uncover how the road still conveys its significance and its multicultural nature as a legacy that preserves the distinctive cultural richness of New Mexico as well.
