The Bata Project's House Dress Dance Party

The parade may be over, but the folklore continues. Join artist Leenda Bonilla and DJ Pagan Sounds on Wednesday, June 17th. Join us after the energy of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade for a mid-week dance party celebrating the house dress that connects us all.

Join DJ Pagan Sounds as he spins a high-energy set that honors the rhythmic legacy of our Caribbean diaspora. We’ll be spinning the genres that made our mothers, titis, and sisters groove while they worked, lived, and led! This may also be you final chance to experience The Bata Project, closing at El Barrio Artspace on June 22nd.

Come wearing your prettiest bata or your finest guayabera!

Bring your bata or guayabera to the celebration and participate in our exclusive Bata Catwalk to show off your best looks!

Pa'lante, Bataneers! Let’s dance among the art and honor the threads that bind us.
