About

The Archive Map of Cabildo de Regla is a dynamic visual guide to the sacred spaces, historical artifacts, oral histories, and ritual practices that define this Afro-Cuban spiritual community. Centered in Regla, Cuba, this map traces the rich legacy of the cabildo, a Black mutual aid and religious society rooted in Yoruba, Bantu, and Arará traditions. The map links archival materials—including photographs, documents, ceremonial objects, and multimedia recordings—to key sites and events, providing an interactive journey through the living heritage of African diasporic resistance, spirituality, and cultural preservation. It serves as both a research tool and an educational resource for understanding the cabildo’s role in sustaining Afro-Cuban identity across generations.
