The Material Voice: Archives, Print and Sound is a project funded by the Technological Innovation Projects Fund of the National Autonomous University of Mexico directed by Susana González-Aktories and Mariana Masera. Together with the National Laboratory of Oral Materials (LANMO), they focus on the multidisciplinary study of oral discourse and its manifestations: gestures, sonority, memory, ritual, music and more.
Three repositories—The Prints of José Guadalupe Posada, Ibero-American Popular Prints, and Sound Poetics in Mexico— were created with innovative research tools in order to rescue and activate unique Mexican cultural heritage in the field of popular culture, literature and sound. A bilateral Mexican-German research group carries out interdisciplinary research focused on hybrid materials (sound, image, text) from the nineteenth century to the present, held by the Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut in Berlin and UNAM in Mexico. The project aims to expand the network and divulge the documents.
