LOS ANGELES—Messengers, couriers, and delivery riders are essential workers in today’s cities. Yet, they remain largely invisible and vulnerable, working for low rates and risking their personal safety. But they have also produced a flourishing subculture and community that cannot be contained by their working conditions. Through a photography project, culminating in an exhibition and website, Sites and Cycles of LA: Bike Messengers and the City offers them a platform to share stories and experiences from the city of Los Angeles.
Where: USC Wallis Annenberg Hall, 3630 Watt Way, Los Angeles, CA 90089
