A
collection of silk screened posters from the 60s to the 80s: "The collection is made up of 322 silk screened posters of the most well respected Puerto Rican artists. These images are snapshots of significant cultural, social and political events that occurred on the island from 1952 to 1985." Some of these posters were made during the years of the DIVEDCO, a government program to promote literacy and social stability through the arts during the rapid changes of industrialization (see
link,
link, and the Smithsonian
archive). Others were produced as part of promoting cultural affairs, like art biennials, dance, theatre, and exhibitions, as well as sports. Another portion pertains to political movements and causes.
