ABOUT: At the Latino Cultural Arts Center (LCAC), we believe art MUST be at the service of justice. More people identify as organizers and activists than ever before, with good reason. The world faces mutually intensifying crises—ecological, social, cultural, political, economic, and even spiritual. This urgently demands unprecedented consciousness and collective action.
 
In response, the LCAC is launching an innovative residence program “Popul/Arte” that merges art, culture and theory. Academia can give people the tools to lift their communities through research and shape the future of a nation. The goal of the residency is to combine theory and the cultural arts and break down barriers to higher education.

"Popul/Arte" will bring the university to the people. It will make knowledge and learning  accessible by combining scholarship and the cultural arts.

THE OPPRORTUNITY: We are pairing a BIPOC artist who wants to collaborate with an activist scholar on an "artivism" project. The opportunity is for an artist and a scholar to learn and create together.

“Popul/Arte” will offer two weekly workshops over four weeks that are free to the public. The outcome will be a collaborative art project that captures new forms of knowledge and will live in the LCAC resource library.
