In November, the artist and writer Molly Crabapple spent a week in Puerto Rico documenting grassroots efforts by communities to rebuild after Hurricane Maria. Here are excerpts from her sketchbook.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\u00a9 Molly Crabapple<\/p><\/div>\n

Maria passed and they said
\n<\/i>\u201cPuerto Rico, se levanta!\u201d
\n<\/i>We\u2019re gonna see. We\u2019re gonna see.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/i>A cantastoria<\/em>\u00a0is a vagabond fusion of art and music, so old it turns up all over the world.\u00a0 In each set, a performer displays an illustrated scroll, then,\u00a0while pointing to each image\u00a0with a stick, tells a story in song.\u00a0 The cantastoria<\/em> first developed in India as a way for itinerant performers to bring the legends of gods from door to door. By the time it hit Central Europe in the sixteenth\u00a0century, it had mutated away from its sacred roots into a wandering carny show of sex, crime, and political sedition.<\/p>\n

After the hurricane, the Puerto Rican puppetry collective Papel Machete created a new cantastoria<\/em>: Solidarity and Survival for our Liberation. Estefan\u00eda Rivera painted the scroll; Isamar Abreu and Agust\u00edn Mu\u00f1oz wrote the script. Mu\u00f1oz, Sugeily Rodriguez Lebron, and Rocio Natasha Cancel piled into the Papel Machete van with their instruments and art and drove to the mutual-aid centers that had sprung up after Maria, and after neighborhoods realized that no help would come from the authorities.\u00a0 In fifteen\u00a0centros, <\/i>one each day,\u00a0they unfurled their scroll in front of the lines of Puerto Ricans waiting for their arroz con pollo<\/i>, and they began to sing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While thousands of people wait with an empty stomach
\n<\/i>Food rots in thousands of vans
\n<\/i>And what comes to us?
\n<\/i>Cookies, Skittles, and paper towels.<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

On the first page, Estefan\u00eda had painted three panels that stood for three insults, unforgettable for Puerto Ricans, but which are already fading from the consciousness of those not connected to the island. In panel one, U.S. military and FEMA<\/small> jets frolic over shipping containers\u2014after Maria, these containers, many filled with private aid from the diaspora, took weeks to be unloaded.<\/p>\n

The market feeds the despair of the people
\n<\/i>People without work, without income, without roofs
\n<\/i>From line to line, our day is gone.<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Sugeily pointed at the next panel with her stick. It showed the endless gas queues. Then she moved her stick lower, to Estefan\u00eda\u2019s illustrations of the overflowing morgues. Approximately nine hundred\u00a0people died in the month after Maria (statistics vary), but they were not given autopsies, their bodies were cremated, and they were labelled \u201cnatural deaths.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are dead in the fields
\nThere are dead in the avenues
\nThe government does not count the dead of Maria.<\/i><\/p>\n

By this time, the people on the food line were\u00a0singing along with them. \u201cThe government does not count the dead of Maria,\u201d flew back and forth, in a crescendo of vivacious contempt. Rocio flung to the next page\u00a0of the scroll, revealing a familiar revolutionary tableau of worker, peasant, child, and blacked-out anti-austerity flag.<\/p>\n

In the days after the hurricane, FEMA<\/small> excused itself by claiming, falsely, that roads were blocked. Press, myself included, who visited the mountains, found this was not the case. The barrios had cleared their roads themselves, with their own hands.<\/p>\n

The road is open.
\nWith what?
\nWith hatchet and machete<\/i><\/p>\n

Sugeily, Rocio, and Augustin sang together now, tenderness replacing the mockery in their voices, and the crowd joined them.\u00a0Fuerte fuerte como hacha y machete.\u00a0<\/i>Strong, strong, like machete and axe. When the last chorus finally ended, the whole cantastoria<\/em> had lasted only five minutes, but it felt far longer, and hit far deeper, too. One friend in the audience told me it reminded her of\u00a0a strength that her fatigue had previously\u00a0forced her to forget. The three performers rolled up the scroll, packed up the drums, and drove to the next town where people had gathered to feed each other.<\/p>\n

We will root out those who lie to us and ignore us.
\n<\/i>Solidarity and survival, for our liberation<\/i><\/p>\n
