The National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture, in partnership with the Chicago Architecture Biennial, is excited to display a collection of stories about community resilience and heroism in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. By presenting exemplary recovery efforts and methodologies of three Puerto Rico-focused organizations: ResilientSEE, Resilient Power Puerto Rico, and The Puerto Rican Agenda, it is our hope that these stories inspire others to take action to create a more resilient Puerto Rico—and a more resilient world—for generations to come.Other participating organizations in the exhibition include Enterprise Community Partners, ReImagina Puerto Rico, and Mercy Corps Puerto Rico.
Panelists include:
Laurie Schoeman – Senior Program Director at Enterprise Community Partners
