VIVA! Community Arts and Popular Education in the Americas

“The VIVA! Project is a transnational exchange that involved educators and artists from four universities and four NGOs from Panama, Nicaragua, Mexico, the U.S. and Canada in a SSHRC-supported participatory action research project between 2003 and 2007. Each partner undertook research of a community arts project; annual transnational workshops (Toronto, 2004; Panama, 2005; Mexico, 2006) allowed them to reflect critically and creatively, collectively and comparatively, on their diverse educational and artistic practices.

The VIVA! Project exchange culminated in a book, VIVA! Community Arts and Popular Education in the Americas (SUNY Press and Between the Lines), that includes a DVD with nine videos that bring the projects to life."
