PABLO DELANO

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, the oldest colony in the world with 527 years of colonization, Pablo Delano dedicates himself to photography, an art learned from his father, the eminent photographer Jack Delano. In his work he documents the lives, stories and struggles of Latin and Caribbean communities in their lands of origin and in diasporas. His most significant publications include Faces of America (1992), In Trinidad (2008) and Hartford Seen (2019). His most famous work, The Museum of the Old Colony, uses old museum tropes to sardonically narrate centuries of Puerto Rican colonialism, while questioning the very role of the museum itself.
