Jorge Luis Rodríguez: Orisha / Santos – An Artistic Interpretation of the Seven African Powers
Jorge Luis Rodriguez brings back an immersive investigation and recreation of a seminal installation first presented at the Museum of Contemporary Hispanic Art (MoCHA) in 1985. Rodriguez (b. 1944, Puerto Rico) explored the spiritual and cultural intersections of Afro-Caribbean traditions in Orisha/Santos: An Artistic Interpretation of the Seven African Powers (Orisha/Santos). Groundbreaking at the time of its creation, the installation emerged from a collaborative effort between Charles Abramson (d. 1988) and Rodriguez, two artists working at the forefront of the installation and land art movements of the 1970s.

Hagudeza Rullán-Fantauzzi: Mi Isla y Yo
Hagudeza Rullán-Fantauzzi’s exhibition, Mi Isla y yo, draws a parallel between the Puerto Rican people’s yearning for territorial sovereignty and the struggle for bodily autonomy. This theme echoes the upcoming semi-quincentennial celebration, yet feels increasingly out of reach for many.

Taller Puertorriqueño’s Textile Design Workshop
Tramando is a workshop series dedicated to empowering individuals and diaspora communities through collective art-making and cultural preservation. Our aim is to foster agency and sustainable economic practices while celebrating the rich tapestry of Puerto Rican and Latino culture.
We provide 12-week workshops, each centered on natural dyeing, weaving, or traditional mundillo lace-making. Each workshop features a dedicated curriculum tailored to the specific craft, led by experienced artists. Open to all skill levels, these workshops delve into both technique and the cultural importance of textile design.
