Casa Central de la Cultura Popular

Casa Central de la Cultura Popular is a cultural center in the Villa 21-24 neighborhood that provides space for artistic and educational activities. The building contains an auditorium seating around 300 people, several workshop classrooms, and areas for multimedia work.

The center opened in 2013 as the first public cultural building built within an informal settlement in Buenos Aires. This opening marked a turning point in providing cultural resources to underserved communities in the city.

The entrance hall showcases permanent artworks by Argentine and Latin American artists that reflect the region's creative heritage. Visitors can encounter this local art collection as they move through the building.

The center offers year-round classes in music, dance, crafts, and creative making. Visitors should ask directly or check ahead to learn what programs are active during their visit.

The building's exterior combines colors reminiscent of South American flags blended with gray and black tones. This color scheme nods to artistic influences and makes the building a recognizable landmark in the neighborhood.
