On October 4, we officially closed the doors of our exhibition “De Aquí Nadie Nos Saca” at La Quince in Santurce, a collaboration between AgitArte and Mijente to develop a pop-up project based out of cultural solidarity in the context of Bad Bunny’s musical residency in Puerto Rico over the summer. The initial intention was to find a local solidarity space to create the exhibit, but given the current economic climate, displacement and gentrification in the area, we ended up securing a storefront that had been abandoned for years, with a deliberately anti-museum approach, informal and open to all.
“De Aquí Nadie Nos Saca”, curated by Agitarte, brought together an extensive sample of works by 39+ local artists and organizations whose praxis is embedded in political organizing and art for social movements. The exhibit featured a barber shop with Juan Pablo Vízcaino Cortijo, a longtime collaborator, as our resident artist barber, and a solidarity shop offering selected swag from the highlighted artists and organizations to directly support their work. The art on view raised awareness of urgent issues while offering visions and proposals for the liberated worlds we are dreaming up collectively. The exhibition called for both context and action –dance and protest– urging us not to be just another tourist while visiting the islands for this musical residency. It invited us to go beyond the surface, get to know the collectives doing the base work, understand what is pressing, and learn how to support. The curatorial essay for the exhibit was written by Puerto Rican historian, Jorell A. Meléndez-Badillo, who collaborated with Bad Bunny on his album, “DeBí TiRAR MáS FOToS”, with notes and visualizers to give historical context.
La Quince was a space which exceeded our expectations and reaffirmed the urgent need for collective spaces for gathering, celebrating, reflecting and organizing. With over 3,000 attendees, “De Aquí Nadie Nos Saca”, had highly successful events coordinated by Mijente and AgitArte as well as participating community organizations which included organizing meetings, ‘fiestas’, book and film events, and more. The multimedia exhibition has been featured in the media, including coverage in The Los Angeles Times, Remezcla, Telemundo, and El Nuevo Día, to name a few.

“De Aquí Nadie Nos Saca”, originating and ending on the streets, remained open from July 31st to October 4th, 2025 from Wednesday to Sunday, 2–8 pm.
