David Antonio Cruz is a Philadelphia-born, New York-based artist whose work revisits the complexities of family, queer identity, and the Puerto Rican diaspora experience. Through painting and performance, he explores themes of forgiveness, healing, revisiting history, joy and chosen family. His recent projects, including When the Children Come Home presented at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia and the Sugar Hill Museum in Harlem, trace his personal and collective journeys across cities and generations.

Founded in 1973 by a coalition of students, faculty, and activists, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College (CENTRO) is the largest university-based research institute, library, and archive dedicated to the Puerto Rican experience in the United States.
