Yuvinka Medina, senior curator, in conversation with Mariana Ramos Ortiz.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n

Yuvinka Medina:<\/strong> Your work highlights the impact of environmental disasters in Puerto Rico, particularly the fragility of housing in the face of climate crises. How do you balance personal and collective memory in your work when addressing these urgent issues?<\/p>\n

Mariana Ramos Ortiz:<\/strong> My experiences and memories of climate crisis events are deeply entangled with the broader history and collective memory of these incidents. The personal and collective weave into each other, becoming almost inseparable. In the aftermath of life-altering events like hurricanes, a sense of unity and cooperation emerges as essential. The personal experience merges with the collective, emphasizing the importance of shared resistance.
\nBreeze blocks and storm shutters, with their common uses, act as mediators between my personal recollections and the broader, communal experience. They allow me to delve into my own memories while simultaneously creating space for others to reflect, remember, and build new meaning alongside me. Through this relationship, I invite others to interlace their memories with mine, embracing a deeper sense of connection.<\/p>\n
