A delegation of Puerto Rican artists will participate for the first time in this international art event, thanks to collaboration between Brazilian curator Patricia Brito, founder and director of the Black Brazil Art Biennial, and Afro-Puerto Rican curator Edwin Velázquez Collazo, director of Casa Silvana, an art space in Humacao, Puerto Rico. The biennial includes over two hundred artists from Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
