MAA

The Mestizo Arts and Activism Collective (MAA) is a university-community partnership located in the Westside of Salt Lake City, Utah. We are a group of high school students,undergraduate mentors, researchers, university faculty and artists who work collaboratively to create positive change in our communities. Through culturally relevant methods of teaching and learning, we work together to foster an engaging space for high school students to develop community-based leadership skills and create community based research projects that address issues that matter to our communities... MAA was co -founded in 2007 by Matt Bradley (RIP 1970-2012), Caitlin Cahill & David Quijada in partnership with the Mestizo Institute for Culture & Arts. Artist Ruby Chacón was our founding artist in residence. Since then MAA has grown in leaps & bounds under the leadership of young people who are committed to each other and to sustaining this creative space of justice.
