Events & Festivals

We uplift the stories and voices of diverse community members. One of our most powerful ways to do this is by partnering with flagship organizations who share this goal.

We train and collaborate with local teaching artists and youth to bring engaging workshops to festivals and community events throughout Los Angeles, offering a unique pathway for these institutions to invest in youth and artists throughout LA.

Activities are designed to weave in place-based storytelling, creative expression, cultural connection and often include interactive installations and engaging materials.

Placekeeping

We work with communities to keep their place through partnerships that make important stories visible in the public spaces they call home.

Our most comprehensive “placekeeping” initiatives take place in South LA which represents the 5th largest Black population in the nation, including the largest Black homeownership population in the country and the largest concentration of Black cultural assets (museums, arts, entertainment, businesses etc.) in the state of California.

We are partnering with government agencies, leaders, cultural institutions and small businesses in several community-led placekeeping initiatives that will preserve and uplift South LA’s cultural, social and historical identity while improving the quality of life for residents.
