In their first project in the US, artist-run platform LA ESCUELA___ will initiate a collective learning project in Homeroom this fall charting pedagogies from across Latin America. Bridging their work across South America and the Caribbean with diasporic communities in Queens and throughout New York, LA ESCUELA___ foregrounds education as an artistic practice and invite socially engaged artists to participate in residencies and activations. Their project at PS1 includes contributions by Laura Anderson Barbata, Lizania Cruz, and Studio Lenca. A centerpiece of the exhibition is artist Miguel Braceli’s large chalkboard stage, which serves as a flexible platform for gathering, programming, and resource sharing. The exhibition also highlights a visual archive mapping artist-run practices and collective-based educational models that have inspired and collaborated with the organization.
