When Hurricane Maria hit the Caribbean in September 2017, it became one of the worst disasters ever recorded to befall the region. Puerto Rico was hit particularly hard, losing thousands of lives and sustaining the bulk of the $92bn in damages caused.
In the five years since then, the wreckage wreaked by Maria has exposed long-term challenges that Puerto Rico has struggled with, including ecological, political and those associated with mental health. Artists on the island have found their own unique ways to respond to a world opened up by the crisis, and they now take center stage at the Whitney Museum’s impressive new show no existe un mundo poshuracán (A Post-Hurricane World Doesn’t Exist), running from 23 November to 23 April 2023.
