The exhibition is titled "Estamos Bien - La Trienal" 2020, 2021.

It was originally scheduled to open in October, 2020.

It features 42 artists from all across the United States, as well as Puerto Rico.

When we had to shift the schedule in order to accommodate, you know, this global pandemic that we were all living with, we decided to commission five projects that were released online starting in July 2020, thinking about how we could reach new audiences and engage with our public using the digital spaces.

For example, there was, um, a work by Lizania Cruz called "The Obituaries of the American Dream" in which she asked participants to submit testimonials of when the ideal of the American dream died for them.

We created a special digital site for/the work by Michael Menchaca, "The Wall," which is a real critique of number 45's pledge to create a border wall.

We had been working on the research for this show, doing studio visits for, you know, more than a year before the pandemic.

And so we continued to be in dialogue with artists across, you know, the whole time that we were all, uh, in our homes experiencing social distancing.

Juan William Chavez, who works out of St. Louis, he created a pandemic-specific work which is a series of, um, survival blankets that he creates that draw on his Peruvian ancestry, as well as his role as a beekeeper and a community farmer and a social practice artist.

Another work that was created just in the last year is Patrick Martinez's "urban landscape," this very large scale painting that almost looks like an extract of a Los Angeles city wall brought into the gallery that has all kinds of graffiti and layers included among that are a glove, some Lysol spray, references to what we're still using today.

The duo Poncili Creación created a very beautiful piece through the streets of San Juan in the height of the pandemic.

I'm Juana Valdes.

I was born in Cuba and I came with my family to the United States in 1971 through the Freedom Flights.

As a Cuban I know what it means to migrate by sea because we have been as a community experiencing this for the last 50 years.

When we think about migration right now, we imagine people in third world countries coming to America or even to Europe for escaping poverty sometimes war, famine but we are experiencing the pandemic right now that has made like, if you were in some cities, people have chosen to leave the city and go to the country.

So the whole idea with the video and not having an individual sort of person, or group, be represented in the video, wants to deal with that.

That due to climate change or due to some other situation, maybe such as the pandemic, any one of us at any particular time right now could or would be forced to migrate.
