On the morning of Thursday, September 30, the students of the course SPA 250: Identity in the Spanish Speaking Word, taught by Professor Christina Lee, had the privilege of participating in a talk with Alma Concepción and Professor Emeritus Arcadio Díaz-Quiñones about Puerto Rican art preserved in the Graphic Arts Collection of the Firestone Library at Princeton University. Thanks to Fernando Acosta-Rodríguez, librarian for Latin American Studies, Latino Studies, and Iberian Peninsular Studies, for receiving and guiding us through the wonders preserved in the collection.
