Frente 3 de Fevereiro (Sao
Paulo)
Frente 3 de Fevereiro is a research and
interventionist art group concerned with racism in Brazilian
society. They aim to create new forms of protest pertaining to
racial issues and to re-contextualize the fragmented information
the general population receives via mass media. Frente 3 de
Fevereiro connects with the artistic legacy of generations who
thought out new ways to interact with urban space in light of the
history of the Afro-Brazilian struggle and resistance.

La Lleca (Mexico City)
Founded in 2004, La Lleca is an artist-social
intervention that takes place within the prison system of Mexico
City. It is not simply an attempt to develop a critique of the
prison system in Mexico, but rather it's an attempt to develop
methods of intervening into it and for generating collaborative
knowledges about it. It is an attempt to change the institutional
space a specific prison in Mexico City, its functioning, and the
power relations that structure it both on a micro- and macro-level,
while, at the same time, providing a physical and psychic space for
the development of various workshops, relationships, and projects
in collaboration with members of La Lleca.

Ultra-red
(Los Angeles...)
In the worlds of sound art and modern
electronic music, Ultra-red pursue a fragile but dynamic exchange
between art and political organizing. Founded in 1994 by two AIDS
activists, Ultra-red have over the years expanded to include
artists, researchers and organizers from different social movements
including the struggles of migration, anti-racism, participatory
community development, and the politics of HIV/AIDS. Exploring
acoustic space as enunciative of social relations, Ultra-red take
up the acoustic mapping of contested spaces and histories utilising
sound-based research (termed Militant Sound Investigations) that
directly engage the organizing and analyses of political
struggles.
