A View of Craft Processes of Puerto Rico

Partnering with Hidrante, a space oriented towards exhibitions, workshops, and community use we aim to educate and respond to the island's need for educational projects at a critical time. Students and the public are unable to attend courses and education has been shuttered even before the pandemic crisis. Our proposal aims to address the remnants of cultural production like weaving, ceramics and printmaking that have been part of our island's history, slowly diminished or almost disappeared by documenting, giving art historical background while exploring techniques and materials.
