Making Our Neighborhood: Live
Samanta Helou Hernandez & Jimmy Recinos
A two-part informational livestream on how to “Make a Neighborhood” in response to gentrification in historically ethnic and working-class Los Angeles communities. Part one will describe how Jimmy and Samanta first came together and conceptualized a discussion series for their community centered on three themes: historic redlining, current gentrification, and present and future housing affordability issues in the Virgil Village and East Hollywood areas. Part one will also describe the evolution of the discussion series into a public art project, an educational pamphlet campaign, archival research and blog storytelling, and finally, round-table discussions with various community members affected by our series’ three major themes. Finally, Jimmy and Samanta will discuss the importance of language justice and accessibility throughout the process of “Making Our Neighborhood.” Part two will describe Jimmy and Samanta’s final installment for the series, Making Our Neighborhood: The Magazine, discussing the importance of memorializing the findings of the discussion series in a tangible form for communities to access, and telling the stories behind finding the various voices featured in their magazine. Part two will also touch on the need to uplift art and literature in times of hardship, noting how despite many resources “taken” by the pandemic, including public schools, public libraries, and other public spaces, working-class communities can still come together to voice and respond to ongoing struggles, as we have done so historically.

Musicians As Workers: Live
Josephine Shetty
Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, there are many examples of music workers building worker power. However, exclusionary union models, individualism, increasing inequality, and technological changes in the music industry have also hindered music workers from massively collectivizing or uniting in solidarity with the rest of the working class. This conversation dives into the meaning of positioning musicians as workers, building broader movements of music workers, and how we can learn from an existing lineage of musicians organizing to build stronger movements of workers today.
Rasquanchecias
Primera Generación Dance Collective
“Rasquachencias” showcases our collective’s past, present, and future works to consolidate a vibrant picture of our Mexican American sociality.
