A piece of art from the "Threads of Resurgence" exhibition

As tarp roofs are replaced with more stable solutions, they are sent to Rolón, who transforms them into beautiful pieces in each exhibition.

You’re invited to explore six large-scale works of art made from tarps that were once used as makeshift roofs in Puerto Rican communities impacted by hurricanes + other natural disasters.

The beautiful tapestries, transformed from utilitarian material into incredible works of art by artist Carlos Rolón, symbolize survival and endurance. Bonus: This insightful exhibition is fully bilingual.

Included with general admission tickets (and free for members), this exhibition is on display now through March 2025.
