Novenario: Art and Mourning reflects on how Puerto Rican contemporary artists articulate notions of recovery from hurricanes Irma and María (2017), while situating mourning and loss at the center of contemporary art practice as transformation in the history of art production in Puerto Rico.

The exhibition showcases the rich relationship that abounds in the Caribbean to ritual, community solidarity, and self-representation challenges related to the regions’ particular histories, and traumatic events, that include colonialism, slavery, environmental upheaval and the direct effects caused by devastation due to storms and hurricanes. The exhibition includes more than 24 intergenerational artists whose practices vary among drawing, photography, weaving, installation, video, sculpture, painting, and performance.

We value risk-taking; we stand behind work that is challenging in nature, and encourage others to do the same.
