### Coming Home: Sacred Spaces and Diaspora in Afro-Cuban Women's Culture

This interdisciplinary project addresses gendered spaces and geographies in the Afro-Cuban religion of Santería. It explores the construction of gendered cartographies and sacred spaces created by female priests, santeras, in Cuba. These ritual consecrations perform a portable Cuban identity that can be perpetuated through religious practice and social performance in religious diasporas.
