As part of the 2025 eMeLeK Festival, join us for the opening reception of Fuego & Blues! The exhibition showcases Marcus McFerren and Jean "Baco" Ortiz, blending Afro-descendant histories through art. McFerren reimagines Blues musicians with fictitious portraits, while Baco portrays Puerto Rico's colonial past through esoteric imagery. Both explore suppressed narratives preserved in African American and Afro-Puerto Rican collective memory and culture.
