Explora no existe un mundo poshuracán: Arte puertorriqueño después del huracán María con dos de las organizadoras de la exposición, Marcela Guerrero, Jennifer Rubio Associate Curator, y Angelica Arbelaez, Rubio Butterfield Family Fellow. 

Organizada para coincidir con el quinto aniversario del huracán María (una tormenta de categoría 4 que azotó Puerto Rico el 20 de septiembre de 2017), la exposición explora cómo los artistas han respondido a los transformadores años transcurridos desde ese evento, reuniendo más de cincuenta obras de arte realizadas en los últimos cinco años por un grupo intergeneracional de más de quince artistas de Puerto Rico y la diáspora. “no existe un mundo poshuracán,” un verso tomado de la poeta puertorriqueña Raquel Salas Rivera, es la primera exposición académica centrada en el arte.

En este programa, Guerrero y Arbelaez ofrecerán una visión general de la exposición y luego responderán a las preguntas del público.

Explore no existe un mundo poshuracán: Puerto Rican Art in the Wake of Hurricane Maria with two of the exhibition’s organizers, Marcela Guerrero, Jennifer Rubio Associate Curator, and Angelica Arbelaez, Rubio Butterfield Family Fellow.

Organized to coincide with the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Maria, a high-end Category 4 storm that hit Puerto Rico on September 20, 2017, the exhibition explores how artists have responded to the transformative years since that event. The exhibition brings together more than fifty artworks made over the last five years by an intergenerational group of artists from Puerto Rico and the diaspora. no existe un mundo poshuracán—a verse borrowed from Puerto Rican poet Raquel Salas Rivera—is the first scholarly exhibition focused on Puerto Rican art to be organized by a large U.S. museum in nearly half a century.

For this program, Guerrero and Arbelaez will provide an overview of the exhibition and then take questions from the audience.
