Fulcrum Fund Grant

Posted in News

Sanitary Tortilla Factory was awarded a 2020 Fulcrum Fund, a grant program of 516 ARTS made possible by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, in partnership with the Frederick Hammersley Foundation.

In response to the current coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, 516 ARTS refocused the fifth year of our Fulcrum Fund grant program in order to best serve artists during this crisis. We recognize an unprecedented need for emergency funding for those who are experiencing situations of economic instability and loss. To date this year, 516 ARTS have awarded $126,000 in two rounds. .

 

 

Student Summer Workshop

Nanibah Chacon site visit at Resilience, mural at Washington Middle School during collaborative studio.

MARCH – SEPTEMBER 2020

Sanitary Tortilla Factory will be hosting an artist-led project in creating a large public art piece to be included in the International Albuquerque Sunport’s public art collection.  The collaborative artist team will re-envision the graphic content of each letter of ALBUQUERQUE. Using the rich history of Albuquerque (1300-present) artists will create sophisticated graphic symbols of the region’s complex histories.  Popular cultural icons will share space with the buried histories that uniquely honor the history and cultural diversity of what we call Albuquerque.

WORKSHOPS + ARTIST MENTORSHIPS = COLLABORATIVE STUDIO:

Finding the truth? Reimagining our histories and future 

Youth artists from the community will join the artists in an intensive studio focused series of workshops and events. Visiting artists, NANI CHACON (ABQ ), ANDREA DELEON(ABQ), Grace Rosario Perkins(ABQ) will share their practice and work with students in developing finished work for the public art component at the Albuquerque Sunport. The group will use working studio discussions, field trips to museums, visits to critical sites as a backdrop to create the core images that represent the complex history of this region

STUDENT ARTISTS
Grace Archibeck, Sekai Berry, Anila Marks-Lopez, Melinda Modisette

This FAQ zine is meant to be a starting point. It’s short, and shares the basics of what we’re talking about when we talk about abolition. It’s been a very useful tool for sparking conversations with people who haven’t considered these ideas before.

The text below is also available in different formats, so that people can print/share:

The goal of this initiative is to shift the discussion of police violence in Minneapolis from one of the procedural reforms to one of meaningful structural change. We will achieve this by presenting a practical pathway for the dismantling of the Minneapolis Police Department; the transference of its social service functions to community-based agencies and organizations; the replacement of its emergency intervention functions with models not based on military methods; and the redirection of resources to support community resilience and people-directed development.
