Support A*Desk

A*DESK has been offering since 2002 contents about criticism and contemporary art. A*DESK has become consolidated thanks to all those who have believed in the project, all those who have followed us, debating, participating and collaborating. Many people have collaborated with A*DESK, and continue to do so. Their efforts, knowledge and belief in the project are what make it grow internationally. At A*DESK we have also generated work for over one hundred professionals in culture, from small collaborations with reviews and classes, to more prolonged and intense collaborations.

At A*DESK we believe in the need for free and universal access to culture and knowledge. We want to carry on being independent, remaining open to more ideas and opinions. If you believe in A*DESK, we need your backing to be able to continue. You can now participate in the project by supporting it. You can choose how much you want to contribute to the project.

You can decide how much you want to bring to the project.

She has founded dissident initiatives such as Proyecto 44 and the Bienal En Resistencia—a self-organized biennial that occupies public space in Guatemala to support social resistance movements—and is a co-creator of La Revuelta, a feminist curatorial collective in Central America committed to memory, advocacy, and community building.
She has curated exhibitions at the MAC in Panama and the MADC in Costa Rica, and has been a speaker at MoMA PS1, the University of Michigan, OCA Norway and Bergen Assembly, amongst others.
