In November 2021, our space in Roxbury suffered a terrible fire. We are in the process of rebuilding and are hopeful to have our people re-housed by April 2023. In the meantime, we are still fundraising to cover rebuilding and replacement costs, as well as legal fees and other expenses related to the fire. Support these efforts by selecting “Fire Relief – Roxbury Cultural Workspace” from the dropdown menu under “What would you like your donation to support?”

Checks can also be made out to AgitArte with the memo “Fire Relief” and mailed to:

On the Eve of Abolition is an original, bilingual (Spanish-English), multimedia, and mask/puppet theater performance by Papel Machete. The story is about the last day of the last prison in transnational liberated lands of what used to be known as the U.S. and Mexico after a movement of abolitionists have created the conditions to end the prison industrial complex. The play is set in 2047 and imagines abolition camps, formerly incarcerated people, families, and organizers outside of the prisons, and from within, prisoners organized in this final moment to end all prisons.

We are raising funds to support the third and final production phase of the play and begin touring throughout the U.S. starting in Fall 2023. Funds raised will support artist fees, materials and equipment, travel costs, food and accommodations while on the road.
