Puerto Rican people
In 1991, Osorio created a piece inside of New York’s El Museo Del Barrio called "El Velorio" – AIDS in the Latino Community in which 7 coffins were left to represent the victims of Puerto Rican people who died from AIDS. Each coffin was filled with information about the victims who died which included different items such as heartwarming notes from friends and family, flowers, and even a mirror which was meant to help the viewer connect more personally to the piece.
