Episode Synopsis

Our guest is José Rosa, a Chicago-based graphic designer, DJ, and artist. They join host ⁠Christian Solorzano⁠ to talk about their journey from Milwaukee and Puerto Rico to Chicago’s creative scene, and how magazines like The Source and Vogue sparked their path into design. José shares how their Caribbean upbringing shaped their vibrant aesthetic, why they push back against minimalism, and how their current work—exhibitions and workshops on reimagining identity—centers on decolonizing Puerto Rican and queer identity. They also reflect on the younger generation’s unapologetic self-expression and fight for change.
