LoCurativo finds international communities willing to host groups of artists to engage in a cultural exchange through collective art practices. Though many of the artists are based in New York City these projects travel throughout the Americas helping to build relationships and break down preconceptions across borders.

Lo Curativo is funded largely by the individual artists and activists who participate in the projects. The spaces are often arrived at through personal ties from various members of the collective, and in each instance the artists who participate define the projects. LoCurativo projects are committed to a set of social goals, but to a model that is open to continual metamorphosis, dependant on the collective to develop its identity. Projects culminate in an exhibition with the host community and are later exhibited in the United States.
