Planning grant to design three temporary exhibitions with public programs examining the history of Lafayette Park in Los Angeles.
This team will create a collaborative humanities project entitled: Reflections in Lafayette Park: Reimagining an Urban Oasis (“Reflections”) that seeks to complicate the narrative of urban degradation and violence often associated with Westlake through three humanities-themed temporary exhibitions and concomitant programs engaging scholars, artists, community stakeholders, youth and families, and inviting them to participate in the exploration and celebration of the historical continuum of their neighborhood’s diverse cultures, rich heritage, and unique landscape.
