Following up on its successful debut last year during Liberation Summer, earlier this month, in collaboration with Cultura Pa’ Lante, we brought back Sembrando Resistencia! This event celebrates Loisaida's Puerto Rican community gardens, which have been longstanding local institutions. This year, the program spanned two days, featuring live musical performances, panels with community leaders, displays of archival material, and walking tours of the gardens, amongst other activities. Enjoy some photos from the programming below!
