Super Bowl 2026: A Celebration of Latin Culture with Bad Bunny’s Half Time Performance

Illustration
Written By Karla-Maria Creativo

Swelling with pride; beaming from the inside out; thankful to have witnessed this intentional, courageous and beautiful act of resistance.

I’m most proud of how Benito represented the beautiful parts of being Latin; community, rhythm, movement, food and flavour, while still highlighting the complex experience of having to leave your homeland and fight to prove the worth of your culture.

Then to end off with all of the flags of the AMERICAS (yes, America is not one country….) all flying high together in unity and pride. I’ll never be able to get this image out of my head and I knew it would be the perfect backdrop for an old design.

I could go on for hours about what yesterday’s performance meant for so many people but I’ll just say:

Thank you Benito for believing in yourself, your cultura and the power of representing it well.

Que rico es ser Latino 💙🤍💙
