AgitArte
A arte pode prestar um serviço importantíssimo para os movimentos: popularizar as ideias. É isso que motiva a AgitArte, uma organização de artistas e animadores/as culturais da classe trabalhadora cujos membros criam, educam e imaginam um Porto Rico livre e soberano.
A AgitArte é uma organização de artistas e animadores/as da classe trabalhadora que usam as atividades culturais em prol da solidariedade com as lutas de base contra a opressão e da construção de uma nova sociedade. Para lutar contra as ideologias dominantes, usam canetas, pincéis e outras ferramentas na popularização da justiça e de um horizonte de liberdade.
Além de artistas, a AgitArte inclui designers, marionetistas e músicas que atuam na intersecção entre raça, classe, gênero e sexualidade. Dentre seus projetos mais conhecidos, destacam-se um pergaminho pintado de seis metros de comprimento retratando a história de Porto Rico, uma campanha de cartazes em defesa da educação pública e um teatro comunitário que promove obras educativas, entre outras oficinas. A organização também faz parte da rede de ajuda mútua iniciada no país após o furacão Maria, em 2017.
De acordo com a AgitArte, a organização cultural e a arte sempre estiveram no cerne das transformações radicais. A organização oferece meios para que os/as porto-riquenhos/as possam manifestar suas lutas, sonhar com o futuro e construir caminhos de libertação.
