The Soup of Dissent
Second Annual Skate Jam of 2024.
Some of the show-goers, a group of alternative styled teenagers, sit on the stoop outside the house for a smoke break in between shows on February 25th, 2024.
The trophy for the S-K-A-T-E tournament is, true to its name, a can of soup on a golden skateboard, standing amidst a merch table of the four bands playing in the show.

One of the bands’ vocalist yells into a telephone microphone, facing the audience.
Both video games and guitars are being playing by two people in the basement. The walls are spray painted with different fonts spelling “soup” as well as other phrases, icons, and flyers.
