Remembering Yesterday observes the construction of identity and memory through everyday textures in a portrait of Jackson Heights, New York, home to a large number of Latin American immigrants. Images of the street, people, and daily rituals depict the passage of time in a neighborhood that becomes a mirror of its inhabitants' place of origin, as well as of the past. The landscape reflects the creation of a new condition and the displacement within this new environment. The meaning of home is born from public space and a collective recollection.
