Forget the Red Apple/A Prickly Pear for the Teacher/La Escuelita/A Latinx Evening School for Critical Consciousness/The Austin, Texas Chapter
Abstract
My art studio at the University of Texas, Austin, became a week-long escuelita, a little school within the campus and within Austin, Texas, at large. I invited neighbors from all walks of life to contribute to its curriculum with classes, workshops, panels, talks, performances, and lectures representative of Latinx experiences alive in the city. This temporary school makes ample room for areas of knowledge not always represented in the traditional college or university roster. La Escuelita brings together key historic/herstoric/theirstoric Latinx voices and lineages dealing with organizing for change and social justice in Austin and surrounding areas.
