Join fellow Contemporaries for a tour of no existe un mundo poshuracán: Puerto Rican Art in the Wake of Hurricane Maria, an urgent exhibition exploring how artists have responded to the transformative years since the devastating category 5 storm. The first survey of contemporary Puerto Rican art at a major U.S. museum in nearly half a century, no existe un mundo poshuracán brings together more than fifty artworks made over the last five years by an intergenerational group of artists from Puerto Rico and the diaspora.

Each fifty-minute tour will be led by one of the Museum’s Joan Tisch Teaching Fellows. A wine reception will be offered in the Whitney Cafe before each tour.
