SUMMARY:Bomba Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture is excited to collaborate with AfriCaribe in hosting a free Bomba Workshop. \nBomba is an essential expression of Puerto Rican Culture; it’s not just something you listen to\, you feel it! Come learn the history\, participate in the movements and experience Bomba at another level. \nBomba was brought to Puerto Rico by enslaved ancestors hundreds of years ago\, most of the Island’s cultural expressions evolve from it. The music can be an upbeat holandé\, which is played and danced with great enthusiasm or a yubá\, which is more somber and spiritual. It was the enslaved Africans’ method of expressing themselves and\, although it originated in Puerto Rico\, it echoes across the Caribbean. The songs\, many of which are still sung today\, showcased the lamento among the sugarcane plantation workers\, who bared their collective souls during gatherings. \nAfriCaribe was created in 2000 by Evaristo “Tito” Rodriguez to provide Chicago with a means to celebrate the African influence in Puerto Rico and other Caribbean lands. \nThis is a family friendly event. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Nostalgia for My Island
DESCRIPTION:Nostalgia for My Island: Puerto Rican Paintings from the Museo de Arte de Ponce. \nThe National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture is excited to partner with the world-renowned fine arts museum\, The Museo de Arte de Ponce (El Museo)\, to present a unique exhibit of Puerto Rican paintings on the U.S. mainland. This once-in-a-lifetime exhibition\, entitled “Nostalgia for My Island: Painting from the Museo de Arte de Ponce 1786-1809.” The curated collection of twenty paintings includes original works by prominent Puerto Rican artists Jose Campeche (1751-1809) and Francisco Oller (1833-1917). The paintings in this exhibit have never before traveled outside Puerto Rico. \nJose Campeche\, the son of a slave\, is described by the Smithsonian Museum of American Art as “the most significant Puerto Rican painter of portraits and religious imagery.” Francisco Oller has been called “a Realist-Impressionist” and is considered the only Latin American painter to play a role in the development of Impressionism. In the early 1980s\, El Museo located and restored many of his works\, which had deteriorated in the tropical climate. The exhibit will coincide with the five-year commemoration of Hurricane Maria that devastated Puerto Rico and The Museo de Arte de Ponce on September 20\, 2017. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening - De:Lata
DESCRIPTION:Puerto Rican artist Bibiana Suárez’s colorful paintings with playful combinations of text and image from the new series she has titled De:Lata will be shown at NMPRAC starting March 10\, 2022. The title is a word play between the verb delatar\, to tell\, and the noun lata\, can\, the phrases dar lata\, to be a bore\, and de una lata\, from a can.  This is because what has inspired Suárez’s new body of work is her analysis of food labels and their misleading representation of contemporary Latinas. This series extends Suárez’s interest in the marketing of Latino culture. \nBorn and raised in Puerto Rico\, Bibiana Suárez has resided in Chicago since 1980. She has a BFA and MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is currently a Professor in The Art School at DePaul University. Suárez’s art is a laboratory where her personal experiences get tested against the socio- political conditions in which people of color live\, emphasizing the convergence between race\, politics\, and culture as applied to Puerto Ricans and other Latinos in the U.S.  Her solo exhibitions include Memoria(Memory)\, Hyde Park Art Center\, Chicago; Domino/Dominó\, Museo del Barrio\, NY and Illinois Arts Gallery. Among her most recent group exhibitions are Repatriación/Repatriation at Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico\, and Identity Play at Space Gallery\, Pittsburg.  She has received several awards including three Illinois Arts Council Individual Visual Artist Fellowships\, a NEA Regional Fellowship and was a fellow at the RACE Center\, University of Chicago\, the Ragdale Foundation\, and the Center for Latino Research\, DePaul University. \nImage:\nLa Fajona (The Hard Worker)\nacrylic on canvas\n52 x 78 ½ in.\n2018
