Our Mandate
We believe that knowledge is the foundation for capacity. Thus, our actions aim to construct a long-term continuous process to empower the immigrant and refugee artists´ community by developing community assets, abilities, and capacities.
Our Principles
Our actions are based on the following principles:
Self-determination
Self-management
Self-sustainability
Participation
Ownership
Agency
Bottom-up planning
Internal governance:
Our board structure works on a volunteer basis.
Our decision-making process is entirely grass roots under the form of assemblies, and every single member of Multicultural Artists´ Collective has agency in our decisions making processes.
There is no fee to be part of the collective; anybody who identifies as immigrant.
The current board members are: Aymara Alvarado Sanchez, Carmel Whittle, Edgar R. Hernandez, Lili Hozack, and Alejandro Salgado Cendales.
