“Entering our 10th anniversary year is a momentous milestone, and we are pushing the boundaries of what SolFest can be. By deepening our relationship with Pregones/PRTT and collaborating with North Star Projects (NSP), we are creating a dynamic space where new works, independent film, and artistic advocacy intersect. From dynamic new work readings and special benefit performances to neighborhood pop-ups and interactive panels, this late September gathering is a true home for our artists. We are proud to offer an accessible, multi-tiered lineup that celebrates both our stellar alumni and the next generation of Latiné storytellers," says SolFest Producer and The Sol Project Co-Artistic Director, Adriana Gaviria
"Nine years ago, The Sol Project chose our stage to launch something bold, and we said yes because that's what colectivos do — we build together. Nine editions in, SolFest has become one of the truest expressions of what Pregones/PRTT stands for: artists claiming space, voices refusing to be quiet, and a Puerto Rican/Latinx legacy that keeps growing louder. Felicidades on 10 years, Sol Project familia," says Rosalba Rolón, Artistic Director of Pregones/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater.
