This survey exhibition brings together reinterpretations of a central figure in Puerto Rico’s culture - the Vejigante. Having evolved from a figure of mystery and mischief in carnivals and festivals in Puerto Rico, the Vejigante has developed into a symbol of cultural identity, resilience, and resistance. The artists in the exhibition  range from the traditional to the contemporary, from the basic role of vejigantes as celebratory figures to iconic messengers of personal statements.
