In December - November 2015, Project Leader Kimberly Bautista set out to Guatemala with support of the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala to prepare curriculum and train with the local coordinators in Guatemala. Our team in Guatemala consists of four Project Coordinators, Paulina Maldonado, Anny Matzir, Oscar "Tommy" Tobar, and Frida Rodriguez, and various guest lecturers, including hip hop artist Rebeca Lane. The team has identified 20 enthusiastic participants who are committed to learning about gender equality, storytelling, and video production. They are now in their fourth session, and have thus covered topics such as: 

  • PATRIARCHY AND PRIVILEGE AS SOURCES OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
  • REDEFINING MASCULINITY
  • COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND ORGANIZING TECHNIQUES

Our team in Los Angeles consists of Hilda Franco and Kimberly Bautista, and they have received funding from National Association of Latino Arts and Culture to partner with Watts Labor Community Action Committee to launch a parrallel program with 20 participants in Watts.
