How I uncovered my Puerto Rican History-Historical Identity Art Project
Excited to celebrate 1 year anniversary with MASS
Moca/Assets for Artist Residency. I will be returning to continue my silk screen
images on my Historical Identity Art Project.
The goal for this project is to conclude in remembering and
uncovering a family member’s life, suppressed for three generations by fear.
Created by The Colonial rule of the United States over Puerto Rico. I recently
learned that Puerto Rico was not given an opportunity to fight for its Independence.
The main character in the Independence movement in PR was Pedro Albizu Campos. In
my experience he was often referred to as that crazy Nationalist. Little did I
know or care to know and maybe could have never imagined what occurred in
Puerto Rico in the 30’s and 40’.
Have you ever asked yourself: What is the relationship with
the United States and Puerto Rico?
Who is Pedro Albizu Campos?stay tuned for more details...
