SUMMARY:Diasporic Collage: Puerto Rico and the Survival of a People
DESCRIPTION:About the Exhibition\nDiasporic Collage: Puerto Rico and the Survival of a People honors Puerto Rican identities in the archipelago and its diasporas. Puerto Rico’s colonial status and geographical location situate it as a locus of global encounters and ongoing displacement. As such\, the Puerto Rican diaspora can be understood as a collage of overlapping histories of colonialism\, resistance\, and survival. This exhibition engages with collage as both practice and metaphor. A collage is an assemblage\, an art technique that uses discrete materials\, images\, or text to create a whole picture. Countering the concept of a melting pot\, which emphasizes assimilation and loss of culture\, the idea of a collaged community allows for the celebration of roots and relations. \nThis exhibition also considers the close relationship between photography and collage\, both notable 20th-century art forms. It takes the first major documentary initiative on the Puerto Rican diaspora as a point of departure to examine the enduring legacy of survival and migration. The Puerto Rican Diaspora Documentary Project by community organizer\, activist\, educator\, and documentary photographer Frank Espada (1930–2014\, Puerto Rico) was funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities from 1979 to 1981. The resulting collection of over 4\,000 photos and 130 interviews led to the 2007 publication The Puerto Rican Diaspora: Themes in the Survival of a People\, from which this exhibition takes its subtitle. \nThe artists featured in this exhibition consider the Puerto Rican diaspora in a fluid and expansive way. While several focus on the diaspora in the traditional sense—Puerto Ricans who migrate to the United States—many honor the different diasporas that intersect with the archipelago of Puerto Rico\, documenting their communities with care and showing us a collage of Puerto Rican and Caribbean experiences.
