Antena Aire
From Antena Aire’s founding in 2010 through 2020, it was a flexible vehicle for work at the intersection of language justice and language experimentation. Originally, there was just one Antena, but over time the Antenas multiplied:
1- Antena Aire
2 - Antena Houston
Antena Aire (2010-2020)
Antena Aire focused on writing, art- and book-making, performance, language experiments, translating, interpreting, and language justice. Antena Aire explored how critical views on language could help us to reimagine and rearticulate the worlds we inhabit. The core of Antena Aire was Eleana/Jen Hofer and JD Pluecker.
Antena Houston & Antena Los Ángeles
At a local level in Houston and in Los Angeles, two autonomous Antena collectives promoted language justice by working with organizations, communities and individuals to create dynamic, well-functioning multilingual spaces for small and large groups of people to foster open communication and attentive listening across languages and cultures. Our collectives primarily worked with Spanish and English but had experience coordinating more diverse language combinations.
Antena Los Ángeles (2014-2021) was founded as an autonomous local language justice collective focused on building multilingual spaces locally in Southern California.
Antena Houston (2015-2020) was founded by Marianela Acuña Arreaza, Silvia Chicas, and JD Pluecker to do the same in the Bayou City.
