art and history exhibition
Nuestro Archivo gathers a collection of historical photographs and architectural surveys done on Cayey, Puerto Rico. With the intention of building community engagement initiatives that oppose the traditional archival methodologies narratives, this project is both: a methodological experiment and a reaffirmation of the power of the people. The project was developed mostly over seven months but continues to expand over an unlimited time while seeking opportunities to grasp new models of archival procedures.

Espacios Imaginarios is a book that brings together eight Caribbean writers to explore the possibilities of literature. The book experiments with different scenarios by each author to offer an imaginable Caribbean, playing with utopias and challenging the natural format of the prologue and its structure.

In Albis
a short film on philosophy
Situated in a symbolical limbo and following Godard's script line in Breathless (1960), ‘In Albis’ dialogues about the existence of the soul in modern society. With a black-and-white setting, the film reflects on time as a flexible notion. Plato's dialogues in Fedón are brought back to introduce key concepts to the script.
