Las Maestras Center recognizes and honors the Coastal Chumash people, the traditional custodians of Anisq’oyo, the land where at UCSB we teach, work and make home. We say: “It is a privilege to come to know you and we thank you for your daily example of wise stewardship. We acknowledge your living elders and those who have walked this earth before you. May our relationship grow together in shared purpose and vision."
La Visión
Las Maestras Center’s multi-disciplinary programming blends visual, performance and literary arts to inform an aesthetic and a directed intention in the creative process, which return artists to their home cultures and contemporary communities of common cause.

This breathing archive documents our personal and political histories . . .
This digital collection is a working archive of projects, events and curated spaces that Las Maestras Center has put together since our conception in 2017-18. Although only officially established at UCSB a few short years ago, this digital archive is testimony to and spans the work done before our official opening and the work we have yet to do. It is a living space in time where we welcome all to engage with the bodies of art, words and politica.
