Grantee Feature– South of Fletcher: Stories from the Bowtie Exhibit through Nov 4th

South of Fletcher: Stories from the Bowtie is a multi-platform storytelling project by Fonografia Collective, a project that received an Humanities for All Quick Grant from California Humanities.

Ruxandra Guidi and Bear Guerra have been working at the Bowtie parcel of land next to the L.A. River for the past year, talking to people who frequent the site, and learning more about the historic, present day, and potential uses of this unique place. Their research will unfold through a podcast series, three public discussions, and an exhibition of photography at Occidental College.

This exhibition of Bear Guerra’s photographs, which document the life, rhythms and relics of this site, will run from September 13 to November 4.
