From early women’s fiction to contemporary music and comics, this panel explores how Boricua cultural production theorizes relation across time and territory. Presenters revisit neglected literary texts, examine global solidarities articulated in popular music, and trace graphic storytelling as diasporic worldmaking. Together, these works show how art not only reflects social conditions but actively constructs relational futures rooted in feminist, anti-colonial, and transnational struggle.

Founded in 1973 by a coalition of students, faculty, and activists, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College (CENTRO) is the largest university-based research institute, library, and archive dedicated to the Puerto Rican experience in the United States.
