"To take care of objects is to take care of memory." — Daniel Lind-Ramos
Experience Daniel's monumental sculptures that explore the connected histories and enduring practices of Afro-Caribbean communities in Puerto Rico and around the world. Using everyday objects—such as ropes, tarps, coconuts, wood scraps, and palm leaves—the artist creates assemblages that reveal the erasure of local traditions in the face of environmental degradation, climate change, and systemic neglect.
⬆️ Get to know Daniel in his studio in Loíza, Puerto Rico, along with some brand new works created for the show at MoMA PS1!

“Cuidar los objetos es cuidar la memoria”. — Daniel Lind-Ramos
A partir del 20 de abril, nuestras galerías se llenarán de las esculturas monumentales de Daniel que exploran las historias y prácticas conectadas de las comunidades afrocaribeñas de todo el mundo. Utilizando objetos cotidianos encontrados y regalados —como cuerdas, toldos, cocos, restos de madera y hojas de palmera— el artista crea ensamblajes que revelan la resistencia de las tradiciones locales frente a la degradación medioambiental, el cambio climático y el abandono sistémico.
⬆️ ¡Conozca a Daniel en su taller en Loíza, Puerto Rico, junto con algunas obras totalmente nuevas producidas para la exposición en el MoMA PS1!

Susiraja's work has a deep connection to language. Her titles often take the form of quips and puns, and she has a practice of writing short poems. This selection of poems, penned between 2007 and 2012, reflects the dark humor and tenderness of her images.

The following is an excerpt of the full page
Listen to the artist Onyeka Igwe read from a text she wrote about her experience conducting research at the Bristol Archives in Southwest England. Igwe describes the sensation of viewing and handling brittle historical materials, which often evoked physical and visceral reactions, such as during the process of opening poorly preserved film canisters, some nearly one hundred years old. She and a colleague were cataloging items from the collection of the former British Empire and Commonwealth Museum, which held records and ephemera from private citizens and government officials related to the history of British colonization in Africa and beyond. At the time this text was written, Igwe was searching for film stock originally recorded in and around Nigeria by the Colonial Film Unit, which produced moving image reels for propaganda purposes. Later, Igwe personally digitized some of the celluloid found in this archive, including some passages that appear in the film Specialised Technique, now on view in her exhibition, A Repertoire of Protest (No Dance, No Palaver).
