Among Cajiga’s most culturally significant works, “Loíza Aldea” immortalizes the Vejigante mask — a central figure in the Loíza festival blending African, Taíno, and Spanish traditions. Created during the height of Puerto Rico’s poster art movement of the 1970s, the print represents the affirmation of Afro-Boricua heritage and its vital role in national identity. Its bold colors and stylized forms echo the Taller Boricua ethos: using printmaking to assert pride, history, and resistance through visual culture.
