Puerto Rico

Culture Quest is a series that looks at life through the lens of the world’s artists, artisans and keepers of culture. It’s through that lens that we not only look at the day-to-day struggles and successes of the individual people we are spending time with, but also look at the larger issues that are affecting the places they call home.

We travel to Puerto Rico to explore graffiti and mural culture. This is a surprising look at how something that is seen as a sign of blight, of a neighborhood in decline, is actually unifying neighborhoods around the island. The murals give residents a sense of history and pride as well as much needed income from tourists who are visiting these seldom-seen barrios to view the mural art.
