Totemism by Diógenes Ballester

El Museo was created at a moment when Taíno and African heritages were being reconsidered as fundamental to Puerto Rican cultural identity. This framework informs this section, which includes Taíno artifacts in dialogue with contemporary artworks created by Nuyorican and Puerto Rican artists including Diógenes Ballester, Nitza Tufiño, and Héctor Méndez-Caratini. These are juxtaposed with modern artworks from throughout the Americas such as the Orisha-inspired prints by Rubem Valentim and the fanciful animal paintings by Amazonian Indigenous artist Chico da Silva.
