This research intends to explore ordinary migrants’ identities from a micro perspective, focusing on working class Latin Americans (from Venezuela, Haiti and Peru) that have arrived in Chile during the last two decades. It seeks to address migrant material culture as an expression of a deeper identity construction phenomenon, understanding how memory and intangible heritage surrounding the home and neighbourhood differ and overlap reflecting their groups’ identity. Examining the material culture associated to narratives, festivals and multiple cultural practices within the migrant home and neighbourhood can give us answers into their systems of value and identity. Studying how the neighbourhood and home are conformed, their role and how they are mapped in a city like Santiago, this research can shed light into how identity is negotiated and how the multiple links between tangible and intangible heritage within peoples lives’ develop.
