THE MUSEUM OF THE OLD COLONY:

In his ongoing conceptual art installation, The Museum of the Old Colony, 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. Featuring new photography by the artist document ing the installation, the publication reinterprets Puerto Rico’s visual past and its diasporic histories through the critical framework of Pablo Delano’s internationally acclaimed The Museum of the Old Colony 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
