Pepón Osorio is an internationally known artist, recipient of a Mac Arthur and Pew Charitable Trust Fellowships, and best known for his large installations.  He is working with community youth encouraging conversations about community violence.  This has produced a series of street banners to hang across streets in locations within a one mile radius of Taller.  The exhibit consisted of 3 installations created by Mr. Osorio all relating to some aspect of violence, that complement his simultaneous ongoing community work.  “Teimbol”, a popular word meaning "time out" in Puerto Rico, suggests a moment of reflection from the daily drama of life. In doing so, silence is transformed and given creative expression.  Mr. Osorio’s works evolve from an interaction with the neighborhoods and people among which he works.  Pepón Osorio is a Carnell professor at Temple University, Tyler School of Art.
