This conversation with Miguel Luciano is interesting for exploring the contemporary resonances of Taino art among Puerto Rican and other communities. Since it focuses on one of the exceptional guayacan wood sculptures from around 1000 years ago, the discussion raises a number of important questions and issues about museums, colonial legacies, and the relevance of the Taino past to Puerto Ricans today. It sounds like the Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibit was an excellent one on the Taino and circum-Caribbean indigenous art.
