LOS ANGELES—Centering the Masses: “Families Belong Together” Quilt
May 12, 2019 @ 8:00 am – 10:00 am
Presented by Visual Communications, CENTERING THE MASSES is a series of free pop-up events and programs at 341 FSN, in the heart of Los Angeles Little Tokyo’s historic district. This nine-week series running from April 5th to May 30, 2019 will bring together artists, cultural workers, entertainment professionals, and civic personalities to celebrate and explore all the ways that motion pictures and media artworks impact our lives. Through intimate conversation, screenings, and visual art presentations, this project will be a space to address the current realities of a community that sits at the crossroads of shifting racial, generational, and economic conditions. Click here for a downloadable calendar of all the events. This project is supported by a Humanities for All Quick Grant.
