We the People: An Exhibit at the Intersection of Art, Memory and Movement

Timed to 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this new multimedia exhibition in South L.A. reimagines the story of America through Black, Brown, Indigenous, immigrant and LGBTQ+ perspectives—in other words, the voices that have historically been left out in the telling of our country’s story. The result is a combination of immersive storytelling, artwork from 35 artists and community-generated narratives, amplifying not only struggle but also futurism, joy and resilience. Presenters Community Coalition and Sankofa.org have also planned accompanying programming, including an open mic night, panels, a resource fair, creative workshops and even a performance by Aloe Blacc (July 12, 5pm).
