Support Alfonso Muñoz Alma's Cancer Battle

Apoyemos a nuestro amigo Alfonso Muñoz Alma en su lucha contra el cáncer

Nuestro querido amigo Alfonso Muñoz Alma, un destacado artista plástico puertorriqueño graduado del Instituto de Arte de Chicago, ha sido diagnosticado con cáncer pélvico, afectando su riñón y otros órganos. Como consecuencia, ha perdido la movilidad y no puede caminar, lo que le impide trabajar y cubrir sus gastos médicos.

A lo largo de su carrera, Alfonso ha utilizado el arte como una herramienta de expresión y cambio social, abordando temas como los derechos de la mujer, la comunidad queer, la crisis ambiental y diversas desigualdades. Su talento y compromiso lo llevaron a ser seleccionado en 2005 para la S Files Biennial en el Museo del Barrio en Nueva York, donde compartió espacio con renombrados artistas como Allora & Calzadilla y Bubu Negrón, en una exposición elogiada por el New York Times. Ha recibido becas prestigiosas, como el New York Urban Artist Fellowship (2008) y ha participado en programas internacionales de intercambio cultural.

Hoy, Alfonso enfrenta su mayor desafío. Un grupo de amigos hemos decidido crear este fondo de ayuda, cuyo 100% de los donativos irá directamente a su cuenta bancaria, para cubrir sus gastos básicos, tratamiento y cuidados durante un año.

Te invitamos a unirte a esta causa y aportar con lo que puedas. Cada donativo, grande o pequeño, hará una diferencia. ¡Gracias por tu solidaridad!

Support Our Friend Alfonso Muñoz Alma in His Fight Against Cancer

Our dear friend Alfonso Muñoz Alma, a renowned Puerto Rican visual artist and graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, has been diagnosed with pelvic cancer, affecting his kidney and other organs. As a result, he has lost mobility and cannot walk, preventing him from working and covering his medical expenses.

Throughout his career, Alfonso has used art as a powerful tool for social change, addressing issues such as women’s rights, the queer community, environmental crises, and social inequalities. His talent and dedication earned him a place in the 2005 S Files Biennial at Museo del Barrio in New York, where he exhibited alongside acclaimed artists like Allora & Calzadilla and Bubu Negrón in a show praised by The New York Times. He was also awarded the New York Urban Artist Fellowship (2008) and participated in prestigious cultural exchange programs.

Today, Alfonso is facing his biggest challenge. A group of friends has come together to create this fundraising campaign, ensuring that 100% of donations go directly to his account to help cover his basic expenses, treatment, and care for the next year.

We invite you to join us in supporting Alfonso. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference. Thank you for your generosity and solidarity!
