How can painting, and art more broadly, be a method for resisting imperialism and colonization? In this conversation, artists Armig Santos, Danielle De Jesus, Gamaliel Rodríguez, Rogelio Báez Vega, and Miguel Luciano discuss their individual practices and collectively explore painting’s possibilities as a medium of opposition to and critique of Puerto Rico’s colonial condition. The conversation is moderated by Taína Caragol, Curator of Painting and Sculpture and Latinx Art and History at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
