These artists contribute their skills, ideas, and labor in exchange for workshop space and boarding. Through this program, we also provide technical support (fiscal sponsorship), mentorship and skill building to AgitArte staff, artists and organizations, groups and collectives with whom we share values and political vision.

En el pasado, hemos presentado talleres, estructuras de arte, artistas residentes, eventos comunitarios y funciones en la Casa-Taller. Durante la pandemia del COVID-19, nos proponemos evaluar cómo utilizar y ofrecer este espacio a nuestra comunidad de manera segura. Con el apoyo generoso de un benefactor de muchos años, en 2020 AgitArte pudo asegurar un espacio permanente en Santurce (San Juan, Puerto Rico) que nos permite desaburguesar (degentrify) y permanecer en nuestra comunidad a pesar del aumento en desplazamientos.

We have been rebuilding since the building suffered a fire in November 2021. After our people are rehoused we will begin again to imagine new creative programming in the space. We have envisioned our space to include adequate spaces to support our current projects: a recording studio, art workshop/studio, artist residencies, permaculture garden project, and housing for working class artists who are part of our project.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type="normal"][vc_column_text]En octubre de 2020, AgitArte adquirió una casa multifamiliar en Roxbury, MA, en asociación con dos residentes de clase trabajadora de Boston con la visión de asegurar una vivienda asequible y un espacio de trabajo como modo de contrarrestar el mercado inmobiliario especulativo y el aburguesamiento en el barrio. Desde que el edificio sufrió un incendio en noviembre de 2021 hemos estado reconstruyendo. Una vez que nuestra gente esté realojada, empezaremos de nuevo a imaginar una nueva programación creativa en el espacio. Hemos visualizado que nuestro espacio incluirá espacios adecuados para apoyar nuestros proyectos actuales: un estudio de grabación, un taller/estudio de arte, residencias artísticas, un proyecto de permacultura, huerta y vivienda para los artistas de la clase trabajadora que forman parte de nuestro proyecto. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner row_type="row" type="full_width" text_align="center" css_animation=""][vc_column_inner][button target="_blank" hover_type="default" text_align="center" text="SUPPORT | APOYA" link="https://www.agitarte.org/donate/"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

The possibility of more workshop space has promoted the establishment of new goals, reinforced existing creative projects, and strengthens our ties with the Santurce community through the development of new projects that have allowed us to continue to collectively contribute to our social liberation. This space functions as an artist live/work space and cultural organizing hub. We offer workshops, art builds and community events, and host guest and resident artists from around the world. After Hurricane María, Casa Taller provided housing, food, and communication support to the Santurce community, as well as receiving aid from the diaspora and redistributing it through the network fo Centros de Apoyo Mutuo - CAMs (mutual Aid Centers). Casa Taller Cangrejera is directed by AgitArte's Co-Directors, Sugeily Rodríguez Lebrón and Jorge Díaz Ortiz.  Both Jorge and Sugeily are active members of Papel Machete. Together, they are responsible for the coordination and implementation of projects at Casa Taller and other proposals and initiatives that arise from individuals or groups that are consonant with the vision and mission of AgitArte, and comprehensively strengthen our community. Aside from serving as a space for creative development of our artists, Casa Taller is also a space of resistance and collective liberation through popular education. With generous support from a longtime supporter, in 2020 AgitArte was able to secure a permanent space for Casa Taller in Santurce, San Juan, allowing us to remain and degentrify our community amidst growing displacement.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner row_type="row" type="full_width" text_align="left" css_animation=""][vc_column_inner width="1/3"][vc_single_image image="287" img_size="700x500" add_caption="yes" alignment="center" qode_css_animation="" css=".vc_custom_1669747957894{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/3"][vc_single_image image="832" img_size="700x500" add_caption="yes" alignment="center" qode_css_animation="" css=".vc_custom_1669747952624{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}"][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width="1/3"][vc_single_image image="1197" img_size="700x500" add_caption="yes" alignment="center" qode_css_animation=""][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
