During the month of September, Miami based artist duo LIZN’BOW [@liznbow] transformed Times Square into the latest extension of Niñalandia: the artists’ ontofictoverse that melds reality and Latinx + queer futurisms. #ICYMI a special night under the twinkling lights of the electronic billboards featured the artists’ femme reggaeton band Niña joined by puppet masters Poncili Creacion [@poncilicreacion].
Through an inflatable installation, a month-long Midnight Moment takeover, and a live interactive performance, LIZN’BOW imagines what they describe as a vibrant “pro-pocalyptic” future, not a world defined by collapse, but one where communities adapt to uncertainty through humor, mutual care, creative resilience, and collective joy.
Thank you to the full cast and crew that made this possible!

Download ![Niñalandia has officially taken over Times Square! 🎀 ‘El Mundo es Niña’ 🎀, an expansive parafictional universe envisioned by Miami-based artist duo LIZN’BOW [@liznbow], transforms Times Square into a multi-part presentation: the premiere of LIZN’BOW’s Midnight Moment video work ‘El Mundo es Niña’ on 100+ electronic billboards, a pair of larger-than-life sculptures, and a live performance premiere.
From September 20-27, visitors can view motifs from LIZN’BOW’s video work expand beyond the billboards onto the plazas through two inflatable sculptures: a 34-foot-long immersive rainbow archway resting on clouds adorned with laughing butterfly-dolphins and floating milk jugs beneath a central emblem combining a butterfly, a Lamborghini, and the Spanish ñ, recurring symbols that bring together transformation, Latin cultural identity, and a critique of excess, and consumer spectacle. Nearby, a 27-foot unicorn-cow riding a jet ski emerges from rising waters. Playful, surreal, and unmistakably “LIZN’BOW”, the inflatable sculptures translate the visual language of El Mundo es Nina into a shared public environment, inviting visitors to gather, linger, and momentarily inhabit the artists’ imagined world.

Download ![🎀‘El Mundo as Niña’ 🎀 LIVE IN TIMES SQUARE 🌈🦄🐬: On September 23 at 10:30pm, LIZN’BOW [@liznbow] will premiere a new live performance as the artists’ bilingual feminist reggaeton band Niña [@ninaymas] with a larger-than-life opening act: Poncili Creación [@poncilicreacion] starts off the evening with their exuberant foam puppet performance. Embracing the visual language of reggaeton, advertising, celebrity, and mass media, this performance creates a space for queer joy, cultural resistance, and collectivity.
Together with LIZN’BOW’s monumental inflatables, moving image work on the billboards, unreleased music, and premiere performance, these encounters extend their world “Niñalandia” into the streets of Times Square, blurring the boundaries between fantasy and everyday public life.
Presented by Times Square Arts [@tsqarts], this work is made possible with support from Creative Capital Foundation [@creative_capital] and the 2023 Creative Capital Award and New England Foundation for the Arts NTP Creation & Touring Grant [@nefa_1976].

Download ![Times Square Arts [@tsqarts] is excited to announce LIZN’BOW’s [@liznbow] Niñalandia takeover of Times Square. This multi-part presentation will include the nightly display of Midnight Moment video work El Mundo es Niña, a pair of larger-than-life sculptures, and their Creative Capital premiere performance with support by Puerto Rican artist collective Poncili Creación [@poncilicreacion].
From September 20-27, two playful inflatable sculptures inhabit the plaza. A 34-foot-long immersive rainbow archway rests on clouds adorned with laughing butterfly-dolphins, floating milk jugs, and the artists’ signature gender outlaw symbol. Nearby, a 27-foot unicorn-cow riding a jet ski emerges from rising waters.
On September 23, LIZN’BOW premiere a new live performance as the artists’ bilingual feminist reggaeton band Niña [@ninaymas] alongside Poncili Creación. Embracing the visual language of reggaeton, celebrity, and mass media, the performance creates a space for queer joy and cultural resistance.
Niñalandia is an expansive parafictional universe rooted in queer and Latinx futurisms where communities adapt to climate change, technological transformation, and uncertainty through humor, mutual care and creative resilience. Join Times Square Arts and LIZN’BOW’s collective celebration and experience this vibrant, fantastical ecosystem!
