Vaivén: 21st-Century Art of Puerto Rico and Its Diaspora

Vaivén: 21st-Century Art of Puerto Rico and Its Diaspora is an exhibition catalogue showcasing the work of forty-three intergenerational artists working from Puerto Rico and its U.S. diaspora. Highlighting their many artistic genres and styles, this bilingual volume uplifts the cultural and political dynamism and shifting interpretations of home and belonging that are inherent to Puerto Rico amid the perpetual transnational migrations of its people.
