BORIKÉN — THE PUERTO RICO ISSUE

Before Puerto Rico was Puerto Rico, it was Borikén—an ancient Taíno name that remains woven into the island’s identity and the word Boricua itself.

BORIKÉN is SHADAI’s portrait of Puerto Rico through its people, landscapes, rhythm, architecture, fashion, and living culture. From the streets of San Juan to the tropical interior, from Caribbean shores to the spirit of its communities, the issue explores an island where history and modernity exist in constant conversation.

A celebration of Puerto Rico as it is felt—not simply seen: vibrant, sensual, resilient, and unmistakably Boricua.
