Issue 2, Archipiélago

Archipiélago, the issue 2 of OBRA, invites Fortuna, a curatorial project founded in 2022 by Sebastián Dávila and Eleonora Del Duca with the aim of creating exchanges between Puerto Rico and Switzerland. Archipiélago is a subjective investigation of the art scene in Puerto Rico and an attempt to capture the essence of the islands, their energy, contradictions, complexity, richness, and challenges.
