About the exhibition

El Encanto De El Grito is a multidisciplinary art installation unveiling Puerto Rico's imperialism. Through disorienting sounds, visuals, and objects, the artist immerses viewers in an unsettling experience. The intentional discomfort mirrors the cognitive dissonance felt by those oppressed under colonial rule. This research-based and abstract approach challenges viewers to confront the lingering effects of imperialism.

As they navigate the installation's intricate layers, they grapple with the complex dynamics of power and identity, inviting a deep reflection on the history and present realities of Puerto Rico. El Encanto De El Grito aims to unsettle and provoke, fostering empathy and understanding for those impacted by imperialism in Puerto Rico.
