Noche de Travesura

presented by Creative Alliance in collaboration with resident artist Edgar Reyes

Noche De Travesura returns to Creative Alliance for another night of rhythm, liberation, and collective joy, led by Creative Alliance Resident Artist Edgar Reyes. They try to silence us, but we keep bringing the noise! DJs Alucarda and Justjuwit will be playing cumbia and reggaeton to keep us moving, connecting, and recharging. A night for losing ourselves in the music and finding strength in each other. Art prints and t-shirts will be sold in collaboration with La Sonora. All proceeds from print + shirt sales support mutual aid efforts for local immigrant families.
