No Existe Un Mundo Poshuracan: Puerto Rican Art in the Wake of Hurricane Maria is at the Whitney Museum in the Meatpacking District, Nov 23, 2022 – Apr 23, 2023. whitney.org 🇵🇷

We work from the road, currently in Puerto Rico. Few Americans understand how Hurricane Maria knocked us into the Stone Age overnight in 2017

We lost all electricity, phone, gas, water, gasoline, markets and government services, and it wasn’t for a few days or weeks. Help took months to arrive and in the mountains it took years. Two years later over 10,000 Puerto Ricans were still living under blue tarps. Five years later, recovery money is just starting to flow. We survived by working together. We’re Puerto Ricans.

About the Whitney Museum

The Whitney Museum of American Art was founded in 1930 by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. Being a sculptor herself, Whitney recognized the difficulty that American contemporary artists had in exhibiting and selling their work. She began collecting and showing artists herself from 1907 to 1942.

In 1929, Whitney offered her collection with an endowment to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Upon being declined, she founded the Whitney and opened the museum at another site in Greenwich Village in 1931. The museum moved to Midtown in 1954. In 1963 it moved to its iconic Marcel Breuer-designed Madison Avenue building in the Upper East Side. In 2015, the Whitney moved back to Greenwich Village.

In the past, The Whitney did not pay particular attention to American artists with a Latin heritage. Today, The Whitney sees America for what it has always been, a multicultural mix. That point of view is represented in both The Whitney’s permanent collection and exhibitions.

The Whitney is leading the charge towards inclusion in the art world. It used to be the last place you would look for Latin, Indigenous or African art, but now it’s the first place. The Whitney is rewriting art history to be more inclusive of race, gender, region, and social class. After all, art is art.

In February of 2020, the Whitney said that the biggest influence on the development of American art was not the European schools, it was the Mexican Muralists. Let that sink in a little. 🇲🇽
