Museo de Arte de Ponce
Nostalgia por mi isla: Puerto Rican Painting from the Museo de Arte de Ponce (1786-1962) presents paintings from the Puerto Rican art collection of the Museo de Arte de Ponce. Commissioned by the museum's curator, Iraida Rodríguez-Negrón, the exhibition includes representative works by some of the most important artists active on the Island from the 18th century to the first half of the 20th century, including José Campeche, Francisco Oller, Miguel Pou, and Myrna Báez.
The exhibition's curatorial approach revolves around three recurring themes in the visual arts of the period: my Island, my people, and my home—subjects that evoke the longing of the Puerto Rican diaspora and have been key in shaping the identity of new generations of Boricuas born in exile.
