Photographer Jonathan Lessuck has partnered with his wife, novelist, Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa to launch a photography and narrative exhibition which features 10 artists and one community service provider from Puerto Rico whose lives and work have been affected by Hurricane Maria.

​

“We wanted to shed some light on the areas of Puerto Rico that were not being covered in the press. The heart of the project began in Loíza, and as we met the artists they continued to recommend other artists,” stated Jonathan. “While Dahlma’s vision is to bring this exhibition throughout different neighborhoods in the Bronx, we would love the opportunity to bring it to other neighborhoods and cities as well. We look forward to seeing how this will evolve and will continue to highlight how artists are moving forward creatively after Maria.”

“It is important to share their stories. We are excited to collaborate for the first time on such a meaningful project,” stated Dahlma. “We are grateful our project is in the skilled hands of the BxArts Factory’s curating team.”
