TIERRA FUTURA brings together Boricua (Puerto Rican) artists from the archipelago of Borikén and its diasporas across the U.S. whose practices imagine, remember, and materialize Boricua futurity rooted in ancestral knowledge and cultural sovereignty. These works contain stories of land-based memory, Boricua rural identity, eco-feminisms, relationship between body and land, queer Boricua joy, cultural rituals, and tributes to significant artistic, political, and familial ancestors. Many of the artists are also founders and leaders of alternative art spaces, land sovereignty projects, and other cultural initiatives that restore and nourish culture and connection to ancestral practices. TIERRA FUTURA is cultural ritual that becomes art practice, and invites us to contemplate what it means to build abundant diasporic futures.

Curated by Shey Rivera Ríos, Studio Loba. Co-Curatorial and Logistics Team: Anabel Vázquez Rodríguez and Ruchika Nambiar. Supported by Interlace Project Fund, RISD SPUR Fund, and WaterFire Arts Center. 

Gallery Hours: Wednesday – Sunday, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.; Thursday until 9:00 p.m.
Admission is free and open to all; donations are encouraged.
