This exhibition presents together for the first time outside of Puerto Rico, a selection of works from the museum’s collection, including several works by José Campeche Y Jordán and Francisco Oller y Cesteros, among others. Organized around three main themes: My Island, My People, and My Home, the exhibition explores the notion of longing and the development of identity for those born in the diaspora. Nostalgia For My Island is curated by Iraida Rodríguez-Negrón, Curator of the Museo de Arte de Ponce, and is accompanied by a fully illustrated, bilingual catalog.
