Colectivo Analco GDL

Guadalajara, Jalisco, México 2021-2022

John Mark Daniel founded the Colectivo Analco GDL in July 2021 while studying in the Maestría en Educación y Expresión para las Artes (Master’s of Education and Expression for the Arts) at the Universidad de Guadalajara.

Daniel’s project and research considered the role of the community artist while in a foreign, cross-cultural setting. The project centered on the neighborhood of Analco in Guadalajara and the creation of the art collective Colectivo Analco GDL.

Over the course of several months, the collective collaborated with the community of Analco to carry out community art projects which culminated in a collective exhibition featuring artwork from the collective and community members of Analco.
