EL GRITO

September 21
4-8pm
Stem & Vine
Baltimore, MD

El Grito de Dolores sparked a revolution.
Today, we face fascism, kidnappings, 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.

Our communities are under siege — but solidarity and culture are the ancestral practices that have prepared us for this moment. We’ve got us.

And we will not be erased.

EL GRITO

21 de septiembre

Baltimore, MD

El Grito de Dolores encendió una revolución.
Hoy enfrentamos el fascismo, los secuestros, la separación de familias y el aumento de los ataques contra comunidades negras, morenas e inmigrantes. Respondemos con rabia, dolor, amor — y creación.

Frente al silencio, gritamos.
Frente a la violencia, nos organizamos.
Frente a la destrucción, creamos.

Nuestras comunidades están bajo asedio, pero la solidaridad y la cultura son prácticas ancestrales que nos han preparado para este momento. Nos tenemos.
Y no permitiremos que nos borren.

About the CURATOR

Edgar Reyes
(b. Guadalajara, Mexico)

is a multimedia artist and professor. Reyes’s work invites viewers to think about the people, places, and connections they carry with them. His practice draws on the specifics of his own life, and reflections of shared experiences of resettlement and migration. Through his art making he explores his family’s Mexican and Indigenous roots.

Reyes's practice confronts the legacy of displacement in the Americas, seeking to bridge understanding and cultivate compassion. He celebrates the vibrancy of Mexican-American identity while critically engaging with national and cultural ideals. Examining the ongoing blending of Indigenous and European traditions within the Mexican diaspora, he draws connections between ancestral art forms and contemporary experiences, revealing a dialogue between conquest and resistance.
