Artistic
&
Transformative Practice
emerges out of years of exploration, study, and experimentation, years of pushing the boundaries of our theories and our practice, of honoring and centering the stories of our people. It is imaginación rebelde, an insistence to imagine a different way of being, where transformation becomes a daily practice towards liberation, where liberation becomes possible in even the smallest of acts, where even when our practice falters, we remain committed to a world where we can all be free. It is the conviction that we can create across form, field, and discipline. It is the unshakeable belief in the transformative and regenerative power of the ethereal, the temporal, the artistic expression of the human experience.
Fugitive Libraries
invite communities to think more expansively about literacy by creating spaces for us to read the world together - critically and politically. Existing outside the limits of traditional forms of knowledge production and knowledge keeping, the project honors embodied experience, ancestral knowledges, and rooted wisdoms. We design spaces where knowledge can be excavated, restored, and shared, where it can contribute to a liberated commons.
Huertos Familiares
is a seed, an experiment, a study, a wild imagining. It’s a fugitive library, an attempt to excavate lost knowledge, to recover lost practices, to relearn from the soil, the plants, the non-human life that exists in our gardens, how to move with ease, fight for life, nourish and support each other. It’s an invitation to sit in silence, to slow the breath, to feel the heartbeat, to reconnect with the universal energies coursing through all life. It’s a commitment to be a custodian of life, a protector of water, of land, a co-creator with nature.
It’s a decentralized matrix, an entramado comunitario, a mycelial network that stretches across space time, that exists outside of institutions, that transcends borders, and connects a group of folks seeking to create a world where we’re all free.
