Living Heritage is a dedicated space that honors the soul of Puerto Rican culture through the people, places, and collectives that keep it alive. This evolving archive showcases the guardians, spaces, and groups who have shaped—and continue to shape—our cultural landscape with creativity, resilience, and purpose.

Rooted in the mission of EnMiPatioPR to preserve, document, and digitally promote our island’s heritage, this section is more than a showcase—it is a living bridge between generations, communities, and the world.

Through Cultural Stewards, Cultural Icons, and Heartbeat of the People, we uplift the voices, stories, and legacies that pulse in every place, community, and festival. Together, they form the heartbeat of Puerto Rico’s cultural identity.
