El Mundo es Niña, an expansive parafictional universe envisioned by Miami-based artist duo LIZN'BOW, transforms Times Square in 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. LIZN'BOW unleash a fantastical future rooted in queer and Latinx futurisms where communities adapt to climate change, technological transformation, and uncertainty through humor, mutual care, creative resilience, and collective celebration.
Motifs from LIZN'BOW's video work expand beyond the billboards onto the plazas from September 20-27 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.

El Mundo es Niña, un amplio universo paraficcional concebido por LIZN'BOW, un dúo de artistas con sede en Miami, transformará Times Square mediante una presentación de varias partes: el estreno de la obra en video El Mundo es Niña de LIZN'BOW como parte de Midnight Moment en más de 100 pantallas electrónicas, dos esculturas gigantes y el estreno de una actuación en vivo. LIZN'BOW dará rienda suelta a un futuro fantástico arraigado en los futurismos queer y de las comunidades latinas, donde las comunidades se adaptan al cambio climático, la transformación tecnológica y la incertidumbre mediante el humor, el cuidado mutuo, la resiliencia creativa y la celebración colectiva.
Los motivos de la obra en video de LIZN'BOW se extienden más allá de las pantallas y llegan a las plazas del 20 al 27 de septiembre mediante dos esculturas inflables. Una consiste en un arco inmersivo con forma de arcoíris de 34 pies de largo que descansa sobre nubes adornadas con mariposas-delfines sonrientes y envases de leche flotantes, bajo un emblema central que combina una mariposa, un Lamborghini y la letra ñ del español. Estos símbolos recurrentes entrelazan la transformación, la identidad cultural latina y una crítica al exceso y al espectáculo del consumo. Cerca de allí, una vaca-unicornio de 27 pies montada en una moto acuática emerge de las aguas crecientes. Divertidas, surrealistas e inconfundiblemente propias de LIZN'BOW, las esculturas inflables trasladan el lenguaje visual de El Mundo es Niña a un entorno público compartido e invitan a los visitantes a reunirse, quedarse un rato y habitar por un momento el mundo imaginado por los artistas.

LIZN'BOW (Liz Ferrer & Bow Ty Enterprises Venture Capital) are an interdisciplinary artist duo whose collaborative practice merges performance, installation, music, fashion, and technology to create immersive works within their expanding Niñalandia universe, a pro-pocalyptic future where climate change, rising waters, and technological transformation become conditions for adaptation, collective joy, and new ways of living together. LIZN’BOW construct speculative environments that blur the line between fantasy and reality, spaces where cultural icons, pop media, and personal mythologies become one. Their practice centers Niña, their femme reggaeton band, as protagonists in their universe. Through a queer and comedic lens, their work transforms the language of American and Latin pop into sites of humor, resistance, and reinvention.
Their Times Square Arts project is followed by a residency at Shandaken Project at Storm King Art Center.
