Latinos of Montclair & Boricuas Unidos en la Diáspora host - in partnership with the Office of Hispanic Intiatives at Montclair State University and the Puerto Rican Student Organization - a layered exploration of how Bad Bunny has used global pop culture to amplify Puerto Rico’s colonial realities, resistance movements, and diasporic identity - all of which will take center stage at Super Bowl LX.
