About this session<\/h2>\n

Gatekeeping is often built into structures of artistic opportunity. Even when there is a stated intention to expand access for people of color or low-income artists, opportunities such as artist residencies are often rendered inaccessible through requirements of nominations, fees, or portfolios, which all assume access to time, resources, industry connections and cultural capital. In this session, four individuals from two partnering organizations will discuss a unique partnership between an access program situated within a US-based art & design college and a Mexico-based organization that supports the exchange of knowledge & ideas across disciplines, cultures & geographies through residencies, educational initiatives, and public programs. The core of their conversation will be about their program-specific residency which aims to remove such barriers and is driven by the following questions: How might the access program\u2019s community-based learning extend beyond graduation? What might these two communities learn from each other through their shared interest in decolonized arts practices? And what might the cultivation of meaningful relationship building across these two communities lead to? Finally, participants will be invited to reflect on the communities they belong to and the opportunities for increased access within their reach.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span> El gatekeeping (control del acceso) suele estar integrado en las estructuras de oportunidad art\u00edstica. Incluso cuando existe una intenci\u00f3n declarada de ampliar el acceso para artistas de color o de bajos ingresos, oportunidades como las residencias art\u00edsticas suelen volverse inaccesibles debido a requisitos de nominaci\u00f3n, cuotas o portafolios, todos los cuales presuponen acceso a tiempo, recursos, conexiones en la industria y capital cultural. En esta sesi\u00f3n, cuatro personas de dos organizaciones asociadas conversar\u00e1n sobre una alianza \u00fanica entre un programa de acceso situado dentro de una universidad de arte y dise\u00f1o con sede en Estados Unidos y una organizaci\u00f3n con sede en M\u00e9xico que apoya el intercambio de conocimientos e ideas entre disciplinas, culturas y geograf\u00edas a trav\u00e9s de residencias, iniciativas educativas y programas p\u00fablicos. El n\u00facleo de su conversaci\u00f3n girar\u00e1 en torno a su residencia espec\u00edfica del programa, que busca eliminar dichas barreras y est\u00e1 guiada por las siguientes preguntas: \u00bfC\u00f3mo podr\u00eda el aprendizaje basado en la comunidad del programa de acceso extenderse m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la graduaci\u00f3n? \u00bfQu\u00e9 podr\u00edan aprender estas dos comunidades una de la otra a trav\u00e9s de su inter\u00e9s compartido en pr\u00e1cticas art\u00edsticas decoloniales? Y, \u00bfa qu\u00e9 podr\u00eda conducir el cultivo de una construcci\u00f3n de relaciones significativa entre estas dos comunidades? Finalmente, se invitar\u00e1 a los participantes a reflexionar sobre las comunidades a las que pertenecen y las oportunidades de mayor acceso a su alcance.<\/span><\/p>\n
