Reimagining Shakespeare en La Frontera.
Who We Are
The Borderlands Shakespeare Colectiva (BSC) is a group of scholars, educators, artists, and activists who engage with Shakespeare in ways that reflect the lived realities of the U.S.–Mexico Borderlands. Using decolonial and community-accountable approaches, we amplify the world-making power of the region’s languages, traditions, and ways of knowing. We aim not only to change the way Shakespeare is taught and performed but also to promote the socially just futures envisioned en el arte de La Frontera.
Our Top Goals
Generate scholarship, programming, and curricula on Borderlands Shakespeare.
Make works of Borderlands Shakespeare accessible to broad audiences.
Collaborate with artists, teachers, scholars, activists, and community members.
