"Taller Puertorriqueño is pleased to present Ida y Vuelta: Experiencias de la migración en el arte puertorriqueño contemporáneo, a sweeping show featuring 19 Puerto Rican artists whose works respond to the experience of many Puerto Ricans living abroad. Migration has been a determining issue in Puerto Rico´s recent history, especially since 2012, due to significant crises and natural disasters.

Curated by Dr. Laura Bravo, the exhibition first opened in February 2017 at the History, Anthropology and Art Museum, University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus. The show suffered a temporary closure after the strike of Hurricane Maria in September 2017, reopening in December that year and inspiring timely conversations about the humanitarian consequences of this tragic event. September 20, 2022, marks five years since Maria’s landfall in Puerto Rico."
