LA ESCUELA___ - Fostering Hemispheric Exchange through Art and Education

Through context-based creative practices, the artistic platform LA ESCUELA___ aims to address current social and ecological challenges from the perspectives of Latin American artists, educators, and communities. By fostering collaboration at the regional and international levels, it promotes translocal exchange, bridging experimental approaches rooted in the territories. This collaborative platform is now expanding its outreach to the BIPOC cultural ecosystem in the USA; connecting Indigenous peoples, black and brown diasporas, among other latinx communities with Latin America. This will strengthen hemispheric exchange among artists, researchers, curators, and educators working with socially engaged practices. Through shared learning experiences, editorial content, and collaborative art projects around public space, the platform aims to promote critical thinking and a broader understanding of the territories and their underrepresented narratives.

This panel is moderated by Antonieta Landa and features Miguel Braceli, Carolyn Sickles, Sofía S. Reeser del Rio, and Iberia Pérez González, and was recorded at Untitled Art, Miami Beach on December 4, 2024.
