Cornelius: Based on the case of Dr. Cornelius Rhoads and his experiments with cancer in Puerto Rico financed by the Rockefeller Foundation. Masked characters recreate a scene portraying Dr. Rhoads performing an autopsy on a young girl. Porto Ricochet: Shadow puppetry tells the story of a document named Porto Ricochet written by Ivy Lee, aka “Poison Ivy”, public relations specialist hired by the foundation to “clean up” the image of Dr. Rhoads and The Rockefeller Foundation. La Operación: The mass sterilization of women as part of a US eugenics program is another forgotten and untold story of our recent past. Here they are shown at the workplace, where women were also sterilized during breaks, in house. At the height of the program, 1/2 women of childbearing age were sterilized. La Pendeja Militar. The piece about the history of US military bombing and experimentation over the land and people of Vieques, PR as well its peoples’ resistance was first performed in Santurce, Puerto Rico in 2012 and since then has been performed in Boston and other parts of Puerto Rico. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

We produce original artwork, posters, graphics, videos, a podcast and publications. Nearly all of our artwork and popular education materials are available for free download on our website: agitarte.org/artwork-for-download. This program also includes publication projects created/co-created by AgitArte. Publications enable us to share the agitational work of AgitArte and Papel Machete with broader audiences. Since 2016 we have produced several publications and popular education materials that contest dominant narratives and share stories and political analysis about issues oppressing working class people, including the book, platform and now podcast When We Fight, We Win!, co-created with Greg Jobin-Leeds. In 2019, we launched the When We Fight, We Win!: The Podcast now with three seasons complete, the catalogue of episodes is available everywhere you get your podcasts, and directly from the When We Fight, We Win! website.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type="normal" up="20px" down="20px"][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][vc_single_image image="14854" img_size="full" add_caption="yes" alignment="center" qode_css_animation=""][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

Add to this the struggles that we have been waging since before Hurricane María and that we continue fighting against a corrupt and illegitimate government.   THE WAY TO SURVIVE HAS BEEN THROUGH COLLECTIVE ORGANIZATION AND SOLIDARITY NETWORKS OF MUTUAL SUPPORT. DESPITE THE LIMITATIONS OF SOCIAL DISTANCING, WE DO NOT FORGET EACH OTHER. WE CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE AND MOBILIZE.   After the arrival of the COVID-19 crisis, AgitArte reactivated and continued mutual aid efforts from Hurricane María and the recent earthquakes in Puerto Rico. Understanding that under U.S. colonization and late stage capitalism, our people will continue to be disproportionately impacted by natural and political disasters, we have developed a Mutual Aid & Cultural Solidarity Program to continue supporting our community, paying our artists and organizers, and meeting immediate needs on the ground. Through our Mutual Aid program, AgitArte has been and will continue facilitating the following efforts to aid our intimate and broader community in Puerto Rico and the diaspora during this profoundly challenging time: Community Outreach & Safety Paid Work + Regranting to artists, organizers and healers  Rapid Cultural Response Artist Network  [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type="normal" up="20px" down="20px"][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Desde que comenzó el 2020 hemos combatido toda suerte de adversidades, desde los terremotos que han dejado a miles sin hogar hasta la actual pandemia que nos mantiene en aislamiento indefinido.

ANTE LAS LIMITACIONES DEL DISTANCIAMIENTO SOCIAL NO NOS VAMOS A DEJAR SOLXS.   En respuesta a la actual crisis de COVID-19, AgitArte ha reactivado y, en cierto modo, continuado los esfuerzos de ayuda mutua del huracán María y los recientes terremotos en Puerto Rico. Entendiendo que bajo la colonización de los Estados Unidos y el capitalismo en etapa avanzada, nuestro pueblo continuará siendo impactado desproporcionadamente por los desastres naturales y políticos, hemos articulado nuestro Programa de Ayuda Mutua y Solidaridad Cultural para continuar apoyando a nuestra comunidad, pagando a nuestros artistas y organizadores, y satisfaciendo las necesidades inmediatas en los frentes. A través de este programa de Apoyo Mutuo, AgitArte ha sido y seguirá facilitando los siguientes esfuerzos para apoyar a nuestra comunidad inmediata y más amplia en Puerto Rico y la diáspora durante este tiempo profundamente desafiante: Alcance comunitario y seguridad Trabajo remunerado + becas para artistas, organizadorxs y curanderxs  Red de Artistas de Respuesta Rápida [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
