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.

Miranda Lopez: Para mi niña
Para Mi Niña reflects the past, present, and future dreams of our little Black and Brown girls. Three young girls — the youngest, middle, and oldest — play dress-up as their mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and matriarchs who worked during the World Trade Fair era.
Wearing vibrant colors, flowers, prints, and dresses inspired by Puerto Rican culture and the spirit of Plena, they mirror the strength and pride of the women before them. The youngest builds the Women’s Pavilion with blocks, symbolizing foundation and possibility.
This piece honors how older women clear the path so younger generations can dream, create, and shape lasting change.

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.
