"Interpreting Absence at Casa Navarro" invites the audience to look beyond what is on display and consider what- and who- has been left out. Using Casa Navarro as a case study, the webinar examines how the absence of structures, artifacts, and stories at historic sites and museums can reflect broader patterns of erasure in the historical record. We will examine the silences and erasures surrounding San Antonio's Laredito neighborhood, analyze how these gaps shape visitors' understanding of the site today, and discuss practical interpretive strategies to bring to light the voices, events, and places that are no longer visible. Attendees will come away with new lenses for identifying absence, concrete examples of how the site currently addresses loss, and actionable ideas for amplifying untold dimensions of its past.
