La Carreta

This print is directly tied to Puerto Rican literature and theater — created for René Marqués’s landmark play La Carreta, a story of migration and displacement that became a cornerstone of 20th-century Puerto Rican identity. Cajiga’s interpretation captures both the rural origins and the existential journey of the Puerto Rican people. As a commissioned serigraph, it bridges art and narrative, translating the struggles of diaspora into a striking visual statement. The piece connects Puerto Rican poster design to literary modernism and national consciousness.
