Jorge González Santos’ practice calls on Borikua (Puerto Rican) material culture to bridge Indigenous and modern ways of living and making. In response to the lack of everyday and academic knowledge and spaces for Borikua practices and history, in 2014 he established Escuela de Oficios, a space for collective learning that advocates and promotes the work of Indigenous knowledge holders of the Borikua archipelago, through convivial and communal forms of production. His work has been exhibited at the Chicago Architecture Biennial, the Whitney Biennial, in Documenta 14, and at Embajada gallery in Puerto Rico. In 2022 he was awarded the United States Artist Fellowship.
