First female Puerto Rican to design poster for the Latin Grammys

Puerto Rican artist Sofia Maldonado has been chosen to design the art for the 21st Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards. She is known for her colorful site-specific works that dismantle the boundaries between studio practice and outdoor painting. Her work weaves together abstract art and reggaeton, and her work also honors the role of women within trap and hip hop culture. What do you think about the poster?
