1 month ago by accionlatinasf Hola! I’m Fátima, the Cultural Arts Manager at Acción Latina, and I will be taking over our IG account this week while I participate in the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC) Leadership Institute in San Antonio, Texas. I travelled here with my 15 month old son and my mom porque this is what being a working mom looks like for me and my familia. Shout out to the #nalac team and my Accion Latina family particularly @josue .rojas.art and @southwestairlines for being so supportive and making our travel and accommodations possible! Today was Day 1 of our program,
1 month ago by accionlatinasf This is Day 4 in San Antonio and we got into the nitty gritty at NALAC’s Leadership Institute—fundraising, planning our artistic season, discussing the difference between a leader and a manager ( yup there’s a difference between initiating direction/change and maintaining systems and planning efforts). We also laughed, reflected and visited the McNay Museum particularly checking out their TransAmerica(n) exhibit celebrating transgender representation in art—this is what moving from artistic style to substance looks like. #nalaqueros #nli2019 #nalac #latinoLeaders #beyourselfeveryoneelseistaken #hotchairsforrebelgirls
1 month ago by accionlatinasf Thank you @sfchronicle_datebook for the light! We really appreciate the profile on @crazycrab415 which will run through August 23rd at Acción Latina’s Juan R. Fuentes Gallery, 2958 24th St. ❤️
1 month ago by accionlatinasf It’s Friday and Day 5 of the Institute! Can’t believe we graduate from the program tomorrow! My brain was stretched today with conversations on budgets, governance and language. I learned that budgets aren’t just numbers—they’re about the values we associate with our work. Might be obvious, but it felt like a moment because when you reframe it like this you question why we pay consultants more than community leaders who also facilitate and guide our work. We also visited the Say Si organization in San Antonio. Can I say “¡Guao!” What an amazing and beautiful place! #Nalaqueros #NLI2019 #LatinoNationTime #equitableBudgets

1 month ago by accionlatinasf Bueno today was Day 2 at the NALAC Leadership Institute, and there are a lot of lessons I’m chewing on. Two questions posed by Dr. Maribel Álvarez for all cultural partners to consider is “What would our community lose if we weren’t doing what we do?” “What is worth winning?” As Dr. Tomas Ybarra-Frausto said, “Culture is the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.” #NoLlegamosAyer “NoNosVamosMañana #HereToStayAndRiseUp #nalaqueros #LatinoNationTime #NLI2019 Also muchas gracias @centrogaleriaeva for welcoming us and nourishing us with delicious food, art and community!

1 month ago by accionlatinasf It was Day 6 in San Antonio today (our Graduación) so this will be my last post of the IG takeover this week. What an amazing experience at NALAC’s Leadership Institute! Amigxs and lessons for a lifetime of conocimiento and an aventura for my mom who joined me this week to take care of my baby while I participated in a leadership workout with 30 other Latinx artists and art administrators from around the country including Puerto Rico. Plus an inspiring keynote address by Gonzalo Casals, the Director of the Leslie-Lohman Museum in Nueva York. Applications for next year’s 20th
1 month ago by accionlatinasf This is still Fátima Ramírez reporting from San Antonio, TX. It’s Day 3 of my participation in NALAC’s Leadership Institute. Yesterday Dr. Tomas Ybarra-Frausto said, “Artists build what is not here,” and it got me thinking about the superpower artists have to advocate for ideas that create our imagined future. Like Evonne Gallardo said “Art in society is not the icing but the flour in the cake.” Artistic minds are valuable assets to solving our problems so not only is it worth it to advocate for the arts but it’s absolutely necessary to reshape our present and open doors for
