Budet's work in the exhibition Upriver Downriver about the Maitland Black Boy Hitching Post is informed by his experience growing up in Borikén, Puerto Rico, a country still held within the political, legal, and psychological structures of colonialism. This condition has shaped the way he understands images, authority, history, and power.
