Shaping Puerto Rican Identity
A show at the School of Social Work at Hunter College will be showing works from DIVEDCO, (Puerto Rico’s Division of Community Education) an agency that facilitated the creation of films, posters and pamphlets concerning economic and social issues in Puerto Rico in the 1950s. The show will include these prints, pamphlets and films that helped educate, organize and promote social change. The exhibit will be up from June 5th until June 30th.
