Cultural Artist United for Social Action (C.A.U.S.A.). President : Adrian Rivera, aarivera@miners. utep.edu
Mission: The mission of Cultural Artists United for Social Action (C.A.U.S.A.) is to open spaces so that students can have a voice and presentation in modern society, by partaking in a "common culture," which in this case is all forms of art.
One of our objectives is to
understand the needs of students, such as their likes, values and interests,
and as such be able to strengthen and value their abilities and
ideas. We work with the youth and provide a broad spectrum of
all forms of art experiences through educational programs, community outreach,
and special events. We have approached students, faculty, and the community for
their support. Our vision is guided by the principle that art transcends
languages and borders, both physical and imagined, and is an empowering
instrument for the disempowered. We believe that nothing flourishes without
roots, and that we must reflect on history while constructing the future. Thus,
as a student organization/ community-focused collective of artists and
activists, we work with youth in an ongoing process to provide venues for their
talents via artistic events and activities. As a collaborative of linking
mediators, we have provided the youth with a platform for their self-generated
creative expressions. Our vital objective is bridging the community to the
needs, values, and interests of youth through the promoting and strengthening
of their abilities and ideas. An artistic project conceived of by student
artist/activist who wish to create social and economic change in our university
and community.
Vision: Cultural Artist United for Social Action (C.A.U.S.A.) is guided by the principle that art transcends languages and borders, both physical and imagined, and is an empowering instrument for the disempowered.
