Through research, exhibitions, educational resources, and institutional collaborations, Tiznando el Pais works to decolonize the artistic ecosystem, promoting an inclusive narrative that acknowledges the Afro-descendant heritage of Puerto Rico and its diaspora. The Program's goal is to encourage an anti-racist and liberating approach to education through art and culture, engaging artists, curators, educators, students, and communities. Tiznando el Pais has reached over 150 organizations, artists, and collectives in Puerto Rico and in several U.S. cities with strong Puerto Rican communities. This includes museums, community organizations, and artist-run spaces that responded to open calls launched by the University of Puerto Rico and the AMPR. The initiatives explore Blackness and Afro-descendance from the perspective of Puerto Rico's colonial reality, aligning with the Decade's core values: Recognition, Justice, and Development. Funded by the Mellon Foundation and the Flamboyan Arts Fund, the Program offers a critical and comprehensive perspective on racism in the arts and on the visual production of Black and Afro-descendant artists in Puerto Rico. It aims to restore their rightful place in the artistic landscape of Puerto Rico and the Americas, celebrating their contributions to the island's visual culture and reaffirming their significance through a transformative and educational approach. The Program's accomplishments during 2024 include: (1) Press conference held to present the achievements accomplished during the first two years of the project implementation, as well as details of the second development phase within the framework of the Second International Decade for People of African Descent. The event also introduced the Program's transmedia agenda, which includes the launch of the project website (tiznandoelpais.org), the premiere on Telemundo of the seven-episode television series GRIOT 2124, the exhibition and educational programming, and the publication of books, catalogs, and pedagogical resources for students, the general public, and people with functional diversity; (2) initiate the planning of the Virtual Seminar on Critical Writing, a collaboration between the AMPR and Contemporary&, designed for emerging curators. Fifteen young participants from various regions of Puerto Rico will take part in this initiative, centered in an antiracist and decolonial perspective; (3) development of a media plan and establishment of agreements with specialized media outlets in Puerto Rico, the United States, Europe, and Latin America for the publication of advertising features about the project and its outputs. Notable outlets include Artishock, Hyperallergic, The Art Newspaper, and El Nuevo Día (ENDI); (4) dissemination of project content on social media, significantly strengthening its visibility and reach at both local and international levels; (5) promotion and financial support for approximately 30 exhibitions, along with their artists, cultural managers, and educational projects, in museums and community spaces across different regions of the Puerto Rican archipelago and several cities in the United States; (6) positioning Puerto Rico within the global antiracist and anticolonial dialogue in the arts, both nationally and internationally. This achievement is reflected in the participation of individuals from various countries in the press conference, increased website and social media engagement, invitations to present the project in Colombia, Spain, Panama, and the United States, and in the collaboration proposal received from the Association of African American Museums to jointly host their annual convention in Puerto Rico in 2029; (7) commenced the production of a television program, which serves as both a documentary record of the exhibition program and a standalone audiovisual artwork that highlights the creativity of its director and the artistic team involved; (8) achieved a greater level of integration with Puerto Rican diaspora collectives and institutions in the United States, as well as between museums and community organizations, fostering the development of collaborative projects. Several initiatives have conducted intra-archipelagic exchanges, allowing the generated content to reach broader audiences; (9) Community organizations, such as the Ismael Rivera Foundation, have been able to keep their facilities open and continue offering educational services to the public, thanks to established collaborations and the financial support received; (10) the LGBTQ+ community has achieved a significant presence within the project, contributing through several exhibition, performance, and editorial initiatives. 11352 11352 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The "ECHALE UN OJO AL ARTE" program is a Citizen Action Program for the Protection of Cultural Heritage that seeks to address the lack of education and the widespread neglect of Puerto Rico's cultural heritage conservation. The initiative focuses on artworks located in schools and other public spaces, responding to the urgency of the problem caused by the absence of an updated, publicly accessible national art inventory and the closure of numerous school facilities. In the first phase of the Program, art and science experts, teachers, students, and museum professionals collaborated to design a curriculum based on project-based learning and STEAM education. In parallel, the AMPR continues its efforts to strengthen public policy that ensures the preservation of Puerto Rico's cultural heritage, while also pursuing funding opportunities for the restoration of artworks that require conservation treatment. Through the visual, historical, and scientific documentation of artworks found in schools, the Program supports the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture in updating the national inventory of artworks located in public institutions. The Foundation recognizes that without such an inventory, Puerto Rico lacks awareness of its cultural assets, how to protect them, and the resources needed to secure their future conservation. Moreover, without public access to this information and understanding of its importance, citizens cannot effectively oversee compliance with public policies that safeguard these assets, promote their responsible educational and economic use, or encourage philanthropy and investment toward their preservation. The Program also aims to foster interest, commitment, and knowledge among educational, cultural, and nonprofit institutions-and, most importantly, to strengthen public appreciation for the value of preserving Puerto Rico's cultural heritage. Through this initiative, the AMPR seeks to raise awareness not only within the school communities directly involved in the project but also among the general public. The visibility granted to the artworks studied and to the project as an educational resource of great value will also facilitate the AMPR's efforts to secure financial support for the long-term sustainability of the program and the restoration of artworks in need of conservation. The Program's accomplishments include (1) the production, editing, and publication of three educational videos highlighting Afro-descendant artists, aimed at strengthening the project's pedagogical resources and promoting the visibility of their contributions to Puerto Rican art; (2) the conceptual review and written revision of educational modules on Puerto Rican art and artists, as well as on cultural heritage concepts, ensuring the accuracy, coherence, and relevance of the content; and (3) the programming, maintenance, and continuous updating of the Program's website, ensuring optimal functionality, integration of new materials, and public access to the developed resources. 0 0 0 524908 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 PR X MARIA A LOPEZ VILELLA 7877245052 PO BOX 362377 SAN JUAN PR 009362377 MARIANNE RAMIREZ PRESIDENT 10 X X 23000 0 0 DONALD C ESCUDERO RIVERA SECRETARY 20 0 X X 19500 0 0 HIROMI SHIBA VICE PRESIDENT 2 X 0 0 0 LUIS M PEREZ TREASURER 2 X 0 0 0 MARIA A LOPEZ VILELLA SUB TREASURER 2 0 X 0 0 0 MARIEL QUINONES VELEZ DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 42500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 523629 0 523629 0 2370 2370 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 525999 2370 0 0 325619 325619 9500 9500 42500 42500 18000 18000 3870 3870 20849 20849 85050 85050 921 921 555 555 1645 1645 9059 8036 1023 1063 1063 1900 1900 INCENTIVES TO WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS 5400 5400 0 0 BANK CHARGES 229 0 229 0 OTHER EXPENSES 35 0 35 0 526195 524908 1287 0 1019388 505920 1536 1216 3180 2656 1586 524 1022510 507660 8139 17114 1005182 481553 1013321 498667 X 9189 8993 0 0 9189 8993 1022510 507660 -196 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 23694 597818 523629 1145141 0 0 23694 597818 523629 1145141 1145141 4150 10 0 4160 0 0 27844 597828 523629 1149301 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 - OTHER INCOME - REPRESENTS DONATED SERVICES OF AN INDIVIDUAL AMOUNTING TO $4,150 IN 2022, AND AN UNRESTRICTED CONTRIBUTION FROM AN INDIVIDUAL OF $10 IN 2023.
