Las Nietas de Nonó

Sisters Lydela and Michel are Las Nietas de Nonó whose joint practice encompasses performance and visual art combined with activism and education. They live in San Antón, an industrialized working class neighborhood of Carolina, Puerto Rico. Their autobiographical art is framed within the socioeconomic and geographical context of the exclusion and eviction of black communities in Puerto Rico. They created Patio Taller a community art space for gatherings, performance, residencies, workshops, and sustainable agriculture.
