Puerto Rican Day Parade NYC | From El Barrio, with Pride

A cinematic, AI-reimagined interpretation of the Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City, the largest cultural gathering of the Puerto Rican diaspora.

Rather than documenting the event, this short film reflects the symbolic strength of a community that adapts across generations and continues to assert its presence along Fifth Avenue.

Through generative imagery, poetic narration, and measured rhythmic storytelling, the work surfaces the cultural pulse of El Barrio, the enduring Puerto Rican heart of Manhattan.

A tribute to continuity, memory, and presence, shaped with intention and restraint.
