WAPA TV reports that Museo Afro Casa Silvana is hosting the first collective exhibition of contemporary Afro-Puerto Rican photography, focused on artists from the island and the diaspora. It will be on display until May 16, 2026, in the Conrado Room of the museum, in Humacao, Puerto Rico. Here are translated excerpts from the article.
“Luz tenue: fotografía afropuertorriqueña” [Dim Light: Afro-Puerto Rican Photography] presents the work of ten very different Afro-Puerto Rican photographers with equally diverse styles. This vibrant Afro-Puerto Rican photography sampling was first exhibited collectively at the 3rd Black Brazil Art Biennial in 2024, recognizing our unique Afro-Puerto Rican visual identity through photography at an international event.
This exhibition is exciting, as it is part of a process of redefining Puerto Rican photography, showcasing the work of Afro-descendant artists: Brenda Cruz Díaz, Deyaneira Lucero Maldonado, Germán Ayala Vázquez, Jorly Flores, Victoria Nicole Martínez, Brenda Torres Figueroa, Ketsia Camacho Ramos, Elías Carmona Rivera, José Arturo Ballester Panelli, and Andrés Miró Lugo.
