AgitArte
El arte puede prestar un servicio crucial a los movimientos al popularizar ideas. Esta es la motivación de AgitArte, una organización de artistas y grupos de gestión cultural de la clase trabajadora que se dedica a crear, educar e imaginar un Puerto Rico libre y soberano.
AgitArte es una organización de artistas y grupos de gestión cultural de la clase trabajadora que utiliza el trabajo cultural para solidarizarse con las luchas populares contra la opresión y para construir una sociedad nueva. Utilizan lápices, pinceles y otras herramientas frente a las ideologías dominantes actuales para popularizar la justicia y una visión de un futuro liberado.
Además de artistas, AgitArte está compuesto por personas que se dedican al diseño, los títeres y la música y que trabajan en la intersección de raza, clase, género y sexualidad. Algunos de sus proyectos más destacados son un pergamino pintado de unos 50 metros de largo que representa la historia de Puerto Rico, además de una campaña de carteles en defensa de la educación pública, un teatro comunitario que monta espectáculos educativos y otros talleres. La organización también es parte integral de la red de ayuda mutua en Puerto Rico que se puso en marcha en 2017 tras el huracán María.
Según AgitArte, la organización cultural y el arte siempre han sido parte central del cambio transformador radical. La organización proporciona medios fundamentales para que la población puertorriqueña exprese sus luchas, imagine el futuro y construya vías de liberación.
