The exchange has several areas of focus, including popular education on issues effecting Puerto Rico, skill shares between areas of work on projects within the collective at time of exchange, cultural exchange: music, art, language, and collective living. GOALS: The collective work and studio space create space for visiting artist/s in residence to create work presented in Puerto Rico and abroad. Create collaborative work between AgitArte and visiting artist/s by strengthening relationships with organizations and individuals in the US and internationally. Bring in working artist/s with specific skills to share with AgitArte & the Papel Machete Collective in order to expand and strengthen our collective capabilities. Educate working artist and activist on the situation in Puerto Rico (who will then be returning to mainland US) in order to build solidarity with struggles in Puerto Rico. OBJECTIVES OF EXCHANGE: Support new focus on sustainable food systems within the community . Create cultural work with theater collective supported by Agitarte . Share skills with members of organizations supported by Agitarte. Learn about history and culture of struggles in Puerto Rico.

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 help degentrify our community amidst growing displacement.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column][qode_advanced_image_gallery type="grid" enable_image_shadow="no" number_of_columns="two" space_between_items="normal" images="18657,18658,18592,15824,17206,17192,831,16338,1198,832,16335,287,16333,18661" image_size="full"][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
