WHERE THE MYSTIFARIANS LIVE

Pangea Art Republic is a transcultural nomadic Art Republic with offices in NYC and El Yunque rainforest of Puerto Rico. P.A.R. is diaspora territory where everyone is welcome. Without a center or margins, it is a continuous, mutable space that constantly being re-defined, and only explained with art events and poetic ceremonies. It offers a nomadic mind space that manifests cultures’ contradictions by decoding the transmutations of their meanings.

P.A.R. is headed by Papo Colo. Colo is a multi-dimensional artist who's work includes performance, theater and installation artist, painter, writer, and graphic designer. In 1982 he co-founded Exit Art, an internationally known cultural center in New York. He has been curator and cultural producer of Exit Art and has organized over 100 shows in which he was also the exhibition and graphic designer. In 1992 he founded the Trickster Theater to expand his experiments as an inter-disciplinary artist.

PROCESIÓN-MIGRACIÓN

July 22, 2017 by Francisco Colon

MAKING A LONG ROAD SHORT

A PAIN WALK CONFORTABLE

BY GOING INTO THE UNKNOWN

WITH DESOLATION AND HOPE.

- Papo Colo

‘Procesión-Migración’ is a landmark performance work by Puerto Rican artist Papo Colo in the tropical rainforest of the El Yunque National Park, celebrating natures, arts, the tropical rain, El Yunque, and the famed work of Puerto Rican literature 'La Carreta' by René Marqués.

Procession- migración
Fue eso una procesión de migrantes
El boricua es experto en migración
Los animales fueron para exhibir el bestiario puertorriqueño
Acompañando a las masas en su ida
Y en en sus sueños de retorno.
La migracion esta cambiando el mundo
Y crear un evento que refleje eso en Puerto Rico
fue un desafío, un privilegio y un gozo.

- Papo Colo
