About the Borderlands Shakespeare Colectiva
The Borderlands Shakespeare Colectiva (BSC) seeks to amplify the work of Chicanx and Indigenous artists who adapt Shakespeare to reflect the histories and lived realities of the U.S.–Mexico Borderlands. They 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.The co-founders are Drs. Katherine Gillen (Texas A&M University–San Antonio), Adrianna M. Santos (Texas A&M University–San Antonio), and Kathryn Vomero Santos (Trinity University). Together, they are editing a three-volume, open-access anthology titled The Bard in the Borderlands: An Anthology of Shakespeare Appropriations en La Frontera (ACMRS Press).
Their work has been supported by funding from the Mellon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Folger Shakespeare Library.
