About this Event


*CHICAGO PREMIERE*

~~~Español abajo~~~~


A journey to the heart of sonidero culture in Mexico City's working-class neighborhoods. This documentary by Joyce García tours Tepito, La Merced, and other corners where music, lights, and dance become identity, refuge, and community territory.

The film shows how sonideros resist gentrification and the banning of their parties, while also highlighting the role of women and the importance of these spaces as celebrations of freedom and cultural memory.

Following the screening, join us for a Q&A with director Joyce García!

Cinema, neighborhood, and cumbia to honor a movement that keeps playing even when they try to silence it.

Post-screening dance party at Ramova Loft (3520 S Halsted St) hosted by Ruidosas Art Collective!
