REVIEW:
Local Puerrto Rican Artist and Temple University Professor, Pepón Osorio, has his latest life-size art installation on display at 901 Walnut (Jefferson) in Center City. Extremely poignant covering the topic of health and community with pieces that transport the audience into a feeling of being at the bed-sides of the people telling the stories of their medical journies.

The exhibit sheds light on the health system and the journey patients, caregivers, and medical professionals experience when someone is dealing with a chronic condition.. All the subjects are Hispanic and from our local area which touches upon the impact healthcare has in our community.

This project wasi inspired by Pepón's own Cancer diagnosis and recovery, as he was surrounded by stories of others who were also navigatings some type of medical journey. The willingness for Pepón and the other patients to have their stories on display for the public to scrutinize is extremely brave and appreciated.

Definitely worth the trip to the city!!!

Pepón Osorio's large-scale multimedia installation Convalescence is now on-view at Jefferson University, Philadelphia. Visit the exhibition!

🇵🇷🫀 The Puerto Rican Paradox: Rich in life, poor in dollars. Let's explore ↓

Puerto Rico is a peculiar place. It's technically a US territory, and everyone born there is a US citizen, but culturally speaking, it looks a lot like a Latin American country in the Caribbean.

It therefore serves as an interesting thought experiment to compare how it does compared to the rest of the US. In terms of GDP per capita, for example, if the island were an official state, it would rank lowest in the country. It would also rank highest in poverty rate by a long shot.

And yet, amazingly, the average Puerto Rican is now expected to live four more years than the average US citizen.

Something should be fundamentally different for the better, given that access to health care on the island is the same or worse than that of the US. What unique aspects of Puerto Rico's culture could explain this surprising trend?

One potential factor is the Puerto Rican diet, which some research suggests is better for health. It's rich in black beans, rice, and fresh fruit, which could contribute to their superior longevity.

Another intriguing explanation could be the emphasis on social interaction in Puerto Rican culture. Research has shown that Latin Americans, which includes Puerto Ricans, place a higher value on social circles than the average US resident. This could be a significant factor contributing to their superior health and longevity.

Of course, the above are just theories. If you have a better one, let us know.
