La Sonora presents
EL GRITO
Curated x Edgar Reyes
September 21 - 4-8pm
Stem & Vine - 326 N Charles St Baltimore MD
Tickets at: La-Sonora.com

El Grito de Dolores sparked a revolution. Today, we face fascism, family separation, and rising attacks on Black, Brown, and immigrant communities. We respond with rage, grief, love — and creation.

In the face of silence, we scream.
In the face of violence, we organize.
In the face of destruction, we create.

La Sonora + artist Edgar Reyes present EL GRITO — a gathering of protest and celebration, of mourning and imagining, of resistance through rhythm, print, and community.

Featuring:
🔥 Live protest music and DJ sets
📚 An art print and zine exchange
❤️ Community care and connection
