🎨🇵🇷 #ArtIsAWeapon #HurricaneMaria From 📰@nytimes:🖼"Paradox of the New Landscape III" is one of the works created by 👨🏽‍🎨Rogelio Baez-Vega @rogeliobaezvega during a residency this year at Mass MoCA to help Puerto Rican artists affected by Hurricane Maria. (Credit Rogelio Baez-Vega, via Gallery Km 0.2.) Hurricane Maria hit #PuertoRico one year ago today (September 20, 2017). The island and her people still have not fully recovered from the storm's devastation, which caused the deaths of nearly 3,000 people. Shame on 45 and his administration's inhumane and abysmal "response" to the suffering of U.S. citizens. Read: "Creativity From the Chaos of Hurricane Maria. One year later, artists in Puerto Rico and those attached to the island talk about how the devastation and its aftermath influenced their work. By Charo Henríquez, Joe Coscarelli, Michael Paulson and Jennifer Schuessler." - https://nyti.ms/2Nn96bA ____________________ Excerpt: "When Hurricane Maria began battering Puerto Rico last September, the actor Modesto Lacén was at his house in Rio Grande, near the El Yunque rain forest. He had just gotten married. There was no honeymoon. Raquel Berrios and Luis Alfredo Del Valle, the husband and wife indie-pop duo who perform as Buscabulla, were in New York, desperate to reach their families on the island. Silence was all that greeted Lin-Manuel Miranda, who was vacationing in Austria, when he tried to connect with relatives in Puerto Rico. And the rapper Daddy Yankee, in New York for a concert, remembers watching the live footage of the hurricane and being dumbfounded by the devastation. But any feelings of helplessness didn’t last. They and other artists like them, either living in Puerto Rico or with roots on the island, sprung into action. Some raised money for the relief efforts. Others delivered much-needed supplies. And all turned to their art." ____________________ #PuertoRico #CreativityFromChaos #PuertoRicanArt #PuertoRicanArtists #NYTimes #RebuildPuertoRico #RogelioBaezVega #TraScapades #BlackGirlArtGeeks🤓 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn9YvNhHV3q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pochu9rj940f
