Puerto Rico is a place that raises questions about the challenges we collectively face in the turbulent 21st century and reveals powerful insights about how we might work to resolve those challenges— especially through the arts, culture, and humanities. We’re dedicated to supporting Puerto Rico’s vibrant artistic, cultural, knowledge, and memory ecosystems and the individuals who work within them, both on the archipelago and in the diaspora.
