2:59 PM 8/10/2014: In a San Juan Neighborhood, an International Arts Festival - NYT

In a San Juan Neighborhood, an International Arts Festival

By 
 

Members of the “Colectivo Morivivi,” a group of teens from Puerto Rico, work on their mural for the Santurce Es Ley 5 festival in Santurce, Puerto Rico. Alexis Busquet
The Santurce neighborhood was once a forgotten part of San Juan, P.R. But something has stirred in the barrio where at night, gunfire isn’t an unfamiliar sound. It started with the artists.
Five years ago, a small group of gallery owners gathered to paint a mural on one of the neighborhood’s ramshackle buildings. What began as a small, semi-spontaneous arts-driven community event has since grown into an international arts fair.
The Santurce Es Ley 5 festival, Aug. 8, 9 and 10, is an example of what the event organizer and gallery owner Alexis Busquet calls “proliferation through art” — the transformation of a neighborhood through artwork and positive community interaction. The event includes open studios, music and experimental media throughout the weekend, as well as dozens of freshly painted, bright murals and art installations throughout the neighborhood. It’s a safe celebration of Santurce’s potential, led by artists and the community, Mr. Busquet said.
“It’s a great mix of young cultural artists with the existing community,” Mr. Busquet, a Pratt graduate and former New York resident, said of the neighborhood’s transformation. “It’s getting better through art. We understand the power of art.”
Buses running through Santurce during the festival will transport visitors between galleries and murals, and the Puerto Rico Museum of Contemporary Art will screen documentaries about the neighborhood.
Nearly 100 international and local artists will be on exhibit throughout the weekend. This year’s centerpiece artwork, a sweeping multistory mural, is being done by the Colectiva Morivivi, a group of teenage girls from Puerto Rico with talent well beyond their years. Mr. Busquet said he hopes the exposure from Santurce Es Ley 5 will lead to a long-term investment in the neighborhood.
“If gentrification means that more artists are going to move here and make it a better place, then sign me up,” he said. “We’re just tracing a line between what we love and what we think should happen. We’re taking broken places and fixing them. It’s an underground movement, but it’s curated and run by artists and gallery artists and the community.”

El informe de la Reserva Federal by Grupo CNE

Por: Sergio M. Marxuach
En el 2012 economistas del Banco de la Reserva Federal de Nueva York (conocido comúnmente como el Fed de Nueva York) publicaron un informe sobre la competitividad de la economía de Puerto Rico. Hace apenas unos días, el 31 de julio, el Fed de Nueva York publicó una actualización de ese informe. El informe más reciente ha sido prácticamente ignorado por el gobierno y la prensa local. Los pocos economistas que lo han comentado lo han despachado como un documento que no dice nada nuevo. Y eso es cierto, en parte. El informe, sin embargo, es importante por dos razones. Primero porque presenta un análisis de nuestra economía y de la situación fiscal del gobierno libre de la propaganda oficial y de la crítica politiquera usual. Segundo, el informe es importante también por sus silencios, por lo que no dice.
Sobre nuestra situación económica el informe es claro: la economía se encuentra en un estado de depresión y no hay señales que apunten a una recuperación significativa (pág. 3). La actividad económica, según medida por el Índice de Actividad Económica del Banco Gubernamental de Fomento, aumentó algo a finales del 2012 pero recientemente se ha debilitado. Mientras, el empleo se ha reducido por 10% entre el 2006 y el 2010 y se ha mantenido estancado desde entonces (pág. 5).
El informe enfatiza la reducción de la población de la isla, que ha disminuido de 3.8 millones en el 2004 a 3.6 millones en el 2013, una reducción de 212,000 personas, o un 5.5%, durante ese periodo. Más aún, la proyección para el 2014 es que la población se reduzca por un 0.65% adicional, una de las contracciones más pronunciadas en el mundo (pág. 6).
Interesantemente, se le adjudica la reducción poblacional al aumento en la migración causado por la falta de oportunidades en el mercado laboral, pero se obvia mencionar la reducción en la tasa de fertilidad en Puerto Rico. De acuerdo con los datos del Departamento de Salud, la tasa de fertilidad en la isla es de 1.7 hijos por mujer, significativamente por debajo de la tasa necesaria para mantener la población al nivel de reemplazo. Parecería que la falta de esperanza en un futuro mejor ha convencido a muchos jóvenes que no vale la pena reproducir esta sociedad podrida.
En cuanto a la situación fiscal, el informe analiza los ingresos, gastos y endeudamiento (como porciento del PNB) del gobierno de Puerto Rico y los compara con los cincuenta estados, Washington D.C., y con una muestra de naciones independientes. De acuerdo con los autores, el perfil fiscal de Puerto Rico es significativamente diferente al de los estados y se asemeja más al de una nación independiente (pág. 19).
Los autores también señalan que la probabilidad de que la crisis de Puerto Rico tenga un efecto de contagio en los mercados financieros de Estados Unidos es baja ya que (1) muchos fondos mutuos no pueden aumentar su exposición al riesgo de Puerto Rico debido a la degradación y (2) las compañías aseguradoras, tales como Assured Guaranty y MBIA, han reducido su participación en el mercado municipal después de la crisis financiera del 2008 (págs. 22 y 23). El informe no dice nada sobre las pérdidas que han sufrido los inversionistas locales, dueños de aproximadamente 30% de la deuda de Puerto Rico.
El informe concluye con seis recomendaciones para lograr la sustentabilidad fiscal: (1) promover esfuerzos para aumentar el crecimiento económico; (2) reformar el sistema contributivo; (3) mejorar los informes financieros del gobierno; (4) fortalecer el desempeño de las corporaciones públicas; (5) implementar un presupuesto para gastos de capital y adoptar un presupuesto balanceado; y (6) establecer presupuestos multianuales.
Estas recomendaciones podrían parecer simplistas pero su implementación no es tan fácil como parece. Por ejemplo, tomemos la recomendación de aumentar el crecimiento económico. ¿Cómo se logra esto en un país que ha perdido gran parte de su acervo de capital doméstico debido a la crisis bancaria del 2010, una burbuja de bienes raíces, y el desplome de los precios de su deuda pública? ¿Cómo se crea una cultura de empresarismo cuando a tres generaciones de puertorriqueños se le ha metido en la cabeza que el mejor empleo es trabajar para una compañía farmacéutica? ¿Qué instituciones legales, políticas, económicas, sociales, y culturales tenemos que cambiar para crecer la economía de manera sustentable? El asunto no es tan sencillo como algunos obtusos analistas de radio se creen.
Lo que está claro es que no debemos esperar mucha ayuda del Fed de Nueva York ni de otras instituciones norteamericanas. En la página 3 nos dicen que “la isla enfrenta dos alternativas: o maneja su propio ajuste económico y pone al Estado Libre Asociado sobre una base fiscal segura o espera a que la migración y la disciplina del mercado fuerce un ajuste aún más doloroso”.
El Fed de Nueva York parece confirmar lo que Eduardo Lalo nos adelantó más elegantemente en su libro Los países invisibles (2008): la sociedad puertorriqueña “no está capacitada para ver lo que le ha ocurrido. Al menos son ya dos generaciones las que presuponen, como derecho natural, un nivel y un estilo de vida que las causas profundas de esta crisis no permitirán reproducir a largo plazo. Así, según sus preferencias políticas, la gran masa puertorriqueña, seguirá organizando sus negaciones de la realidad, a través de la imaginación de sus salvadores. La pobreza y la impotencia son el terreno mas fértil para el mesianismo y Puerto Rico ha pasado más de cinco siglos esperando que alguien lo salve a golpes, a patadas, a tiros. Y como la espera no culmina nunca se confunde la excitación que produce con la salvación que nunca llega.”
En suma, por décadas los puertorriqueños vivimos una ilusión monetaria que nos permitió consumir y tomar prestado a niveles más altos de lo que nuestra capacidad productiva podía sostener. Y, sencillamente, el día de ajustar cuentas ha llegado.
