We are a group of artists, cultural managers, and educators committed to rethinking and revitalizing public education. From 2008 to 2019, we actively worked as a collective. In 2008, following the approval of the law mandating secondary education, we presented a project to the Province of Buenos Aires to establish a secondary school with a specialization in Visual Arts in the neighborhood of La Cava, Fiorito. Its approval marked the beginning of what is now the Liliana Maresca School of Visual Arts.

Since then, we have assumed curricular roles, engaged with the local community and art scene, hosted workshops with guest artists, and organized a biennial art event, among many other initiatives. We aim to contribute to the creation of community spaces that expand opportunities, develop learning tools fostering diverse connections with our surroundings, challenge prejudice, and open spaces for joy and exchange. Our work arises from the unknown, from what has yet to exist, in a continuous process of feedback and tension between pedagogical and artistic practices.

Defending public education means reinventing it. Transforming a school means asserting that any school can be transformed.
