The artistic practice of Jorge González Santos serves as a platform for the recovery of Boricua (Puerto Rican) material culture, in an attempt to create new narratives between the indigenous and the modern. In 2014, the artist founded Escuela de Oficios as a response to the omissions of dominant stories and the deterioration of academic spaces. By proposing recovery through community regeneration, Escuela de Oficios creates collective learning spaces and promotes self-managed education within the creation of a mobile programme that includes conversations, workshops and exhibitions. His work has been exhibited internationally, including individual presentations at the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture; Embajada, San Juan; and Tenerife Espacio de las Artes, Spain (2024).
