Some call it an uneasy partnering of artists and political activists, some a cult or communist front. For others it is the best place to see the future of New York's progressive art movement. Castillo calls itself not an alternative cultural institution, but an alternative to both mainstream and radical/avantgarde institutions. An ambitious claim. Castillo derives its name from the revolutionary Guatemalan poet, Otto Rene Castillo, a former theatre director, diplomat, lawyer, and guerilla fighter who was brutally killed in I967 at the hand of fascists. In the poem, Apolitical Intellectuals (1971), he calls on progressive artists to fight against social and political apathy
