“Do You Remember Guam?” is a virtual exhibition presented by the Guam Museum, and aims to bridge CHamoru connections and memory of both those living in the Mariana Islands and the diaspora.
The exhibit will begin with two galleries showcasing visual ephemera, stories, and narratives presented by different curators using their personal collections of items created in and representing the Guam, the Marianas and CHamoru culture. From these two, other community curators will be invited to share collections of their own to help create a virtual space for CHamorus across the world to keep strong their connections to their islands, their culture and their language.
The Guam Museum, a division of the Department of Chamorro Affairs, fosters an appreciation for Guam’s culture and natural heritage by promoting an increased understanding of our island’s geology, biota, pre-history, and contemporary culture.
We invite history enthusiasts, cultural preservationists, and local community members to join us in this important mission. By sharing your photos, videos, stories, and artifacts, you help us build a collective memory and foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Guam’s heritage. Each item you share brings us closer to our roots and strengthens the bond within our community.
Si Yu’os Ma’ase.
