Casa Brandon

Created in 2000, Casa Brandon is a team of individuals who, through formal means but also out of sheer will, are able to create and support a plethora of projects and initiatives. This collective can take on all sorts of shapes, from culture center and art gallery to events, partnerships, a website, social media profiles, a library, a production company, and a publishing company.

Its offices are a haven for organizing and promoting activities that are seldom shown in traditional channels for reasons such as sexual orientation, gender, color, ethnic origin, age, religion, language, and political affiliations. Live music events, poetry readings, art exhibitions, book launches, round tables, discussions, film and video screenings, theater and dance shows, works by performance artists, festivals and fairs are some of the activities held at Casa Brandon. In 2011 Brandon was declared by the Buenos Aires City Council as endowed with social and cultural value, and as an institution that promotes and defends human rights.
