FUGITIVE LIBRARIES
Fugitive Libraries invite communities to think more expansively about literacy by creating spaces for us to read the world together—critically and politically.
SOBREMESA SERIES
Our Sobremesa Series for community to gather, study and think together at tables of our own making has included convivial dinners with artists, organizers and intellectuals like Blanka Amezkua, rafa esparza, Laurie Ann Guerrero, Kristiana Rae Colon, Mai’a Williams, Silvia Federici, Sharon Day and Jodi Yellowfish, Marguerite Angelique and Vickie Washington, Veronica Castillo, Tanya Orellena, Karla Kopalli, Entre Palmas (Mincho Jacobs & Alba Sereno) Chandra Mohanty, Linda Carty & Michelle Tellez.
COMMUNITY CONSULTA
La Consulta is a community designed participatory action research project led by a research group of six who live and/or work within a 7 block radius of Galeria EVA on the Southside of San Antonio, TX.
COMMUNITY TOOLBOXES
Created with Adela C. Licona from the Art of Change Agency, with generous support from Cara Mia Theatre, Community Toolboxes for Self-Defense are an open-sourced archive of stories, tools, recetas and strategies from different communities creating ecologies of care.
COMMUNITY EVENTS & WORKSHOPS
We also facilitate writing, book-making and collective songwriting workshops and, through Books in the Barrio, host events like the Protest and Rally for a Bookstore at South Park Mall, Nada de esto es un sueño: 24 Hours Celebrating Juan Rulfo’s 100 th Birthday, a Read In and Mitote at AWP, Summer Dreaming en el Parque and Dia de los Niños. We have given away over 500 books for free to people of all ages in our community.
