CENTRO Gallery
CENTRO Gallery is committed to investigating and disseminating Puerto Rican visual art across the diaspora and in conversation with the archipelago. The Gallery seeks to expand on the narratives encompassing the Puerto Rican diaspora experience, offering opportunities for researchers, curators, and artists through its exhibitions and programming. It employs curatorial frameworks that interweave the knowledge and content housed within the Library and Archives, contemporary research within Puerto Rican Studies, and the artistic production of Puerto Rican artists across generations and disciplines. Located at the heart of El Barrio, the gallery aims to foster dialogue between community members and artists across the various Puerto Rican Diaspora enclaves.

Inspired by the legacy of Frank Espada, Hiram Maristany, Sophie Rivera, Charles Biasiny-Rivera, Roger Cabán, Felipe Dante, and many more, CENTRO had the goal of having a visual record that communicated the last five years of the Puerto Rican diasporic experience. Through an open call, the work of 33 photographers was selected for this first iteration of On Both Sides of the Lens: Documenting the Puerto Rican Diaspora. Learn more
