"How Bad Bunny Became the Global Voice of Puerto Rican Resistance." written by Vanessa Díaz and Petra R. Rivera-Rideau is onsale now at La Tienda en MOLAA.

Global superstar Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, like many other Puerto Ricans, has lived a life marked by public crises—blackouts, hurricanes, political corruption and oppression, among others—that have exposed the ongoing impacts of colonialism in Puerto Rico. Offering a portrait of the past and future of Puerto Rican resistance through one of its loudest and proudest voices, P FKN R draws on interviews with musicians, politicians, and journalists as well as ethnographic research to set Bad Bunny and Puerto Rican resistance in a historical, political, and cultural context. Authors Vanessa Díaz and Petra Rivera-Rideau—creators of the “Bad Bunny Syllabus”—demonstrate Bad Bunny’s place in a long tradition of infusing both joy and protest into music and honor the many evolving forms of daily resistance to oppression and colonialism that are part of Puerto Rican life.

Join us as we do a deep dive into the fascinating work of Afro-Dominican artist and scholar, Patricia Encarnación (she/they). Encarnación is an Afro-Dominican interdisciplinary artist whose work critically engages with colonial legacies across various cultural layers within Afro-diasporic communities. Through explorations of material culture, collective memory, and cultural identity, Encarnación challenges tropes of Caribbean and tropical aesthetics by recontextualizing everyday objects, landscapes, and aesthetics from her upbringing. In this session, we will explore examples of her diverse artistic projects and provide a hands-on art activity based on her themes. This session is in-person and includes light refreshments.
