His art has intersected with the international immigrants’ movement, and the philosophies of critical pedagogy , radical democracy , and the coloniality of power . Between 1999 and 2004, Lasch created a series of simultaneously local and transnational social projects with immigrant and indigenous groups in Chiapas and Quintana Roo, and Jackson Heights . In collaboration with grassroots organizations like Asociación Tepeyac de New York and Mexicanos Unidos de Queens, Lasch founded and directed the experimental afterschool program Art, Story-Telling, and the Five Senses .

During the peak of the 2006 United States immigration reform protests , three of the projects begun in Queens were presented in Lasch’s first major solo exhibition at the Queens Museum of Art in New York. This show was named as the best of the year by Michael Rakowitz in the journal Artforum . The museum and its immediate neighborhoods have since become increasingly recognized for their rich and globally significant immigrant culture, featured in popular films like Maria Full of Grace , Salma Hayek’s hit TV-series Ugly Betty , and most recently, Tania Bruguera’s Creative Time IM International project.Early work Lasch’s productions from the early Queens period, as well as his work with 16 Beaver, have expanded over the years to engage a growing network of international grassroots and interdisciplinary collaborators.
