SUMMARY:How Does Art Connect L.A.?
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by Metro Art\, Zócalo Public Square\, and Grand Performances\nModerated by Moira Shourie\, Executive Director\, Zócalo Public Square \nArts and culture built Los Angeles\, this hub for the journeying\, creative spirit. And great art connects Angelenos to each other. We ​roar with laughter at comedians\, ​thrill at a poetic turn of phrase\, shed a tear when our favorite restaurant closes down. And when L.A.’s people and values come under attack\, we turn to culture to stay strong. Angelenos find power in murals\, mariachis\, and mouth-watering cuisine served up by street vendors —a fiery fusion of forms that makes us who we are. \nAnd yet\, while music\, comedy\, art\, and food bind us together\, punchlines and platforms can also push us into camps\, reflecting bitter culture wars across the country. How does art connect\, and when does it divide like a knife? Can art be the secret to keeping the soul of a city alive\, even in the most challenging times? And where do we find inspiration and connection in a town where so many cultural\, artistic\, and social forces collide? \nZócalo invites “art rap” rapper and comedian Open Mike Eagle\, improviser and Dynasty Typewriter co-founder Vanessa Ragland\, Da Poetry Lounge Co. president Jasmine Williams\, and comedian\, actress\, and writer Sasheer Zamata to Union Station to discuss how art helps Angelenos feel connected today. \nPart of LAte Night Train of Thought\, with improv performances presented by Dynasty Typewriter\, featuring Eugene Cordero\, Colton Dunn\, Lauren Lapkus\, Ify Nwadiwe\, Gil Ozeri\, and Sasheer Zamata; spoken word interludes by Nate Lovell and RAVINA from Da Poetry Lounge; and a closing musical set by “art rap” artist Open Mike Eagle. Guests can also enjoy complimentary sweets from Little Tokyo’s iconic Fugetsu-Do Confectionery (while supplies last) and bites available for purchase from the Kogi BBQ food truck. \nThis program is part of California 175 — What Connects California?\, a suite of free Zócalo events and essays\, bringing together leaders and thinkers from all walks of life to envision California’s next 175 years.

SUMMARY:Can Comedia Help Us Understand California’s Past?
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by Zócalo Public Square\, Playwrights’ Arena\, UCLA Diversifying the Classics\, and LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes\, with generous support from Snap Foundation\, Karsh Family Foundation\, Broad Foundation\, and Olga Garay-English\nDuring the artistic and literary boom of Spain’s Golden Age\, theater known as comedia helped audiences on both sides of the Atlantic understand their past and present. Today\, contemporary playwrights have adapted these 17th-century classics to shed light on L.A.’s history\, touching on issues including power and sexuality\, gentrification\, and Black\, Korean\, and Latino identity. \nJoin us under the stars at LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes for readings of three adaptations from the 2024 anthology Golden Tongues: Adapting Hispanic Classical Theater in Los Angeles. Barbara Fuchs\, director of UCLA’s Diversifying the Classics initiative\, will introduce central themes of the plays. Playwrights Diana Burbano\, June Carryl\, and Luis Alfaro will offer brief pre-performance remarks and will sign copies of Golden Tongues\, available for purchase from Tía Chucha’s\, during a post-reading reception. \nAbout the plays: \nIn Diana Burbano’s Flickers\, a director in early 20th-century Los Angeles becomes embroiled in the perils of Hollywood: ambition and treachery\, prejudice and plagiarism. In her version of Juan Ruiz de Alarcón’s La cueva de Salamanca (The Cave of Salamanca)\, Burbano recreates the magic of the first days of film while exploring its racism. \nJune Carryl’s Florence and Normandie adapts Pedro Calderón de la Barca’s Amar después de la muerte (To Love Beyond Death) and sets the action against the backdrop of the Rodney King uprising. As tensions boil\, two families entwined by location and love find themselves living the American racial nightmare. \nPainting in Red is Luis Alfaro‘s “whitewash” of Calderón de la Barca’s El pintor de su deshonra (The Painter of His Own Dishonor)\, exploring a Chicano painter’s relationship to a real and imagined Spain and an endlessly gentrifying Los Angeles. \nThis program is part of California 175 — What Connects California?\, a suite of free Zócalo events and essays\, bringing together leaders and thinkers from all walks of life to envision California’s next 175 years.

SUMMARY:Where Does Deportation Come From?
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by Zócalo Public Square\, MacArthur Foundation\, Times of San Diego\, and Bread & Salt\nDeportation has impacted communities across California and the country\, and has become the face of U.S. immigration policy today. At the culmination of a year marked by violent ICE raids\, it’s crucial to understand how we got to this point and what may lie ahead. \nPart origin story\, part forecast\, a one-on-one conversation between historian and MacArthur Fellow Kelly Lytle Hernández and filmmaker and MacArthur Fellow Alex Rivera will illuminate the history of deportation. The pair will discuss the first man to be deported under the 19th-century Chinese Exclusion Act\, reach further back in time to consider that law’s predecessors\, and\, finally\, return to the present day to pose questions about the future of U.S. banishment. Is deportation an anomaly of our modern era\, or does it reflect the very heart of this country’s history? Who is targeted for deportation in America\, and why? And where should we look for reform or respite—resistance groups\, the courts\, political leaders? \n“Where Does Deportation Come From?” is an in-person-only event near the U.S.–Mexico border in San Diego\, which launches Zócalo’s “Brewing Ideas” format. Audience members will receive a complimentary drink from Mujeres Brew House to sip during the program\, which will include a preview screening of Rivera’s forthcoming film Banishment\, a live reading by Lytle Hernández from source material that inspired the film\, and a conversation between Rivera and Lytle Hernández. \nZócalo invites our in-person audience to continue the conversation with our speakers and each other at a post-event reception with complimentary small bites and a tasting experience from Mujeres Brew House. We are excited to partner with Atheneaum Art Center to offer a silk-screening activation during the reception\, with an opportunity to purchase a limited-edition poster by La Cucaracha cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz to benefit a local San Diego-area food bank.

SUMMARY:What History Lies Beneath DTLA’s Bright Lights?
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\n\nWhat History Lies Beneath DTLA’s Bright Lights? \n\n\n\n\nCo-presented by Zócalo Public Square and Los Angeles Conservancy\, with generous support from Karsh Family Foundation and Broad Foundation\, in partnership with California Humanities and City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs \nIn its 175-year history\, California has had dark and bright moments. But the state\, in its fervor to build anew\, has a habit of forgetting its past. Downtown Los Angeles embodies this: It holds a multitude of histories without a plaque\, events that inform the city today. \nCo-designed by Zócalo and Los Angeles Conservancy\, this DTLA walking tour will start where it all began\, bringing to light what was to illuminate where we’re going. We will be joined by experts at El Pueblo de Los Angeles\, Union Station\, and Little Tokyo. These are places where the Gabrielino-Tongva people thrived before subjugation by the Spanish and where a violent mob of Angelenos massacred their Chinese neighbors; where Japanese Americans created a beloved-but-threatened community and where the city built a spectacular transportation gateway to the region. This 2.5-hour experience will take participants through DTLA’s layered history to help them better interpret it. \nDecide for yourself: Does L.A. have a hero or villain origin story? And what histories should we remember to make California’s next 175 years brighter? \nDistance/Duration: Tourgoers will walk approximately 1.8 miles. Tours will last 2.5 hours. \nCheck-in: Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your tour’s start time to check in. The tour will meet at 125 Paseo de la Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90012\, in front of El Pueblo Historical Monument. Please note\, the tour will end in Little Tokyo. \nAccessibility: The tour route requires participants to travel approximately 1.8 miles on sidewalks along city streets and throughout public spaces. The route\, which is wheelchair accessible\, includes uneven surfaces and differing grades. Tourgoers should expect to be on their feet for the entirety of the tour. Voice amplifiers will be used by tour guides\, but tourgoers should expect to be in a noisy\, urban environment. Most of the tour will be conducted outside. Tours will take place rain or shine. \nParking: Paid surface parking can be found at various lots throughout the area. \nThere is a large underground parking lot with all-day parking for $8.00 behind the East Portal of Union Station. There is an entrance to the parking garage on Cesar Chavez Avenue\, just past the bridge\, about a quarter of a mile east of Alameda Street. There is a second entrance on Vignes Street\, which runs along the east side of the Union Station complex. Please note that parking is at the rear of the station\, and some distance from the tour meeting spot. \nTake Metro! If possible\, we encourage you to take public transportation. The A\, B\, and D Metro Rail lines stop at Union Station. Visit metro.net for more information and to plan your route. \nThis program is part of California 175 — What Connects California?\, a suite of free Zócalo events and essays\, bringing together leaders and thinkers from all walks of life to envision California’s next 175 years.
