This week Miranda speaks with Javier Moreno, a San Juan–based artist, printmaker, and art educator whose work explores the social and political complexities of Puerto Rican identity with bold, graphic clarity.

From his early days sketching graffiti to discovering printmaking in college, Javier shares how his artistic voice developed alongside a deepening awareness of colonial histories, community struggles, and the power of collective action. They talk about skeletons, socialism, and what it means to make beautiful images that still pack a political punch.
