Puerto Rico in Focus The Museum of the Old Colony: An Art Installation by Pablo Delano Volume 1, (Hardcover)

<p><b>How artist Pablo Delano's continually evolving "counter-archive" disrupts dominant narratives of his native Puerto Rico. </b></p><p>In his ongoing conceptual art installation, <i>The Museum of the Old Colony</i>, Pablo Delano confronts the complex legacies of US-Puerto Rican relations since 1898, when Spain ceded the island to the United States, following the Spanish-American War. This richly illustrated exhibition catalogue unpacks Delano's incisive critique of how history is seen, remembered, and believed. </p><p>Featuring new photography by the artist documenting the installation, the publication reinterprets Puerto Rico's visual past and its diasporic histories through the critical framework of Pablo Delano's internationally acclaimed <i>The Museum of the Old Colony</i> project. By examining archival images, colonial ways of seeing, and connections to the Puerto Rican diaspora, the book offers fresh insights into how visual narratives shape identity and memory.</p>
