CENTRO Selects Inaugural Group of Mellon Bridging the Divides Fellows

Scholarly group brings together academics, journalists and artists to study issues confronting Puerto Rico and its diaspora throughout the United States.

About my project:
My project “Cuadernos de láminas decoloniales” imagines worlds, realities, and histories, by collecting soft data in the form of stories, images, and interviews from an intergenerational group of Puerto Ricans who were part of the island’s public school system. The project consists in the redesigning of “cuadernos de láminas” traditionally used for school projects or as a supplement material in classrooms. The project intends to reveal narratives that are not presented in the island’s institutionalized history by creating a series of decolonial graphic representations that deconstruct colonial legacies present in Puerto Rico’s education.
