Imaginaries of LA: Guadalupe Rosales and Rita Gonzalez

Thursday, March 18, 5-6:30 pm PT

Free, Hosted via Zoom

Register in advance for this online event


The second conversation in our Imaginaries of LA series brings together artist Guadalupe Rosales and curator Rita Gonzalez, who will discuss how the making of art and archives from embodied, lived experiences can transform the social and political production of urban space. 

Since its founding in 1781, Los Angeles has existed on contested land. Although long recognized as a diverse and multicultural city, its history is marked by segregation, racist city planning, and harmful urban redevelopment policies. Imaginaries of LA is a series of conversations between Los Angeles-based artists and curators that explores what is at stake in the various strategies that artists use to represent Los Angeles and provides a forum for debate about the past, present and future of the city.

VIRTUAL PLAY-READING

Free

Advance sign-up required

Tune in to a virtual reading of award-winning writer and director Laurel Ollstein’s new script Pandora, presented in partnership with TheatreWorks Silicon Valley. This theatrical retelling of the first human female to appear in Greek mythology asks: What if a woman was suddenly created and dropped into the middle of the world now? Someone with no preconceived notions of anything—like beauty, love, or violence? And what if the rest of humanity and the gods could suddenly see the world through those clear eyes?
