Casa Gallina is a transdisciplinary cultural project whose programming is focused on learnings and actions relating culture, community, and the environment. The project is located in Santa María la Ribera, a neighborhood of Mexico City, where it seeks to facilitate synergies inside the local communities.
Through its platforms, Casa Gallina seeks to promote, inoculate, encourage, and revitalize initiatives and proposals about resilience, the environment, creative models of associations, life styles of responsible consumption, as well as alternative models of social interaction. Casa Gallina also seeks to strengthen local community networks, as well as alliances with initiatives from other areas that share similar interests to establish processes of dialogue, work, and exchange.

Allies

Casa Gallina strives to build and strengthen networks of alliances with collectives, individuals, civil society organizations and public or private institutions with whom we share common interests. Collaborative processes are built in different formats and frameworks, which weave networks to share resources, strategies and methodologies.

These different alliances aim to enable processes and actions related to critical narratives, so as to trigger collective experiences on ecology, resilience, community liassons and creativity in daily life.

The collaborative network is built through the implementation of strategies and programs by Casa Gallina, which consistently enjoys the support of a wide range of allies. The following list presents our institutional alliances; the individual collaborators are covered under each of the strategies implemented. This list is constantly changing since it continues to grow longer.
