Taller Boricua: A Political Print Shop in New York

This is the first monograph exhibition in three decades about the East Harlem-based Nuyorican collective workshop and alternative space, Taller Boricua. The organization, commonly known as "The Puerto Rican Workshop," which began as a printmaking studio, produced and circulated hundreds of prints centered on issues of Puerto Rican independence, workers’ rights, and anti-imperialism both locally and in the Caribbean and Latin America, issues that remain relevant today. This exhibition, curated by Rodrigo Moura, is comprised of more than 200 works and ephemera, including serigraphs, lithographs, linocuts, paintings, assemblages, collages, and drawings by founding and early members, including Marcos Dimas, Carlos Osorio (1927 – 1984), Jorge Soto Sánchez (1947 – 1987), Nitza Tufiño, and Rafael Tufiño (1922 – 2008), among several others.
