The Biblioteca Madre project will amplify the voices of indigenous people, females, and people with disabilities of Latin America engaged in artistic practices, empowering them to reach new audiences through multimedia educational content. A team of artists and educators will connect and collaborate with the selected artists to create an online multimedia library that showcases their history, culture, and traditions. The resulting library, along with lesson plans and teachers guides, will be shared with youth-serving organizations across Latin America and the USA.

The Biblioteca Madre program will launch in July 2024 via online showcases featuring the artists and highlights of their materials.  Organizations and schools that are interested in participating will complete a short registration form to gain access to the materials and complete a short evaluation form to provide their feedback.

El proyecto Biblioteca Madre amplificará las voces de los pueblos indígenas, las mujeres y las personas con discapacidad de América Latina que participan en prácticas artísticas, permitiéndoles llegar a nuevos públicos a través de contenidos educativos multimedia. Un equipo de artistas y educadores se conectará y colaborará con los artistas seleccionados para crear una biblioteca multimedia en línea que muestre su historia, cultura y tradiciones. La biblioteca resultante, junto con los planes didácticos y las guías para profesores, se compartirá con organizaciones al servicio de la juventud de toda América Latina y Estados Unidos.

El programa Biblioteca Madre se lanzará en julio de 2024 a través de escaparates en línea en los que se presentarán los artistas y lo más destacado de sus materiales. Las organizaciones y escuelas interesadas en participar rellenarán un breve formulario de inscripción para acceder a los materiales y rellenarán un breve formulario de evaluación para dar su opinión.
