EL ALTO | QUEER / CUIR
Gender, sexuality and the Arts in the Americas
El Alto is the British Council’s new magazine about arts in the Americas: a biannual publication about the cultural practices from this region. This first issue is a partnership between the British Council and Outburst and focuses on issues of gender, identity and the arts.
It builds on the last four years of collaboration with Outburst Queer Arts Festival, identifying and supporting producers, activists, artists, curators and projects around queer art in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Jamaica, Mexico, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, the US and Venezuela.
The publication showcases some of the projects developed in the network, as well as some leading academic and artistic voices in this growing space. Edited by Natalia Mallo, Pablo Rosselló and Ruth McCarthy, and presented in Spanish and English, the magazine features a series of artist profiles and projects from 13 countries.
