The School of Panamerican Unrest (La Escuela Panamericana del Desasosiego) is a conceptual art project led by Mexican artist Pablo Helguera. The project involves a series of performances, discussions and screenings to seek connections between the different regions of the americas. The core of the project consists of a travelling schoolhouse which will make 30 stops between Alaska, United States and Tierra del Fuego, Chile during the summer of 2006. At each stop topics such as immigration, globalization and the role of arti in society will be examined as they relate to pan-american culture, history and ideology. The project echoes the efforts of intellectuals such as José Marti, Simón Bolívar and José Vasconcelos to create a unified cultural region in the Americas. Once the project is completed, a travelling exhibition and accompanying documentary are planned which will bring together the documentation obtained during the project.
