Saturday, October 21, 3pm: photographers' talk by all the artists on display and guest photographers.This group showing was put together as an expression of a growing frustration with the slow pace of reform and change that leaves the well-being of thousands of Angelenos in a state of limbo, and to an alarming death toll. The latest homeless count reveals a 9% increase in homelessness in LA County and 10%.
The photographs by Buck, Felix-West, Hollins and Storm were made in 2019 as part of the How We See It project, a participatory photography project that encouraged personal expression and creativity, organized by Blumenkrantz in his role as a professor in the Journalism Department at California State University, Northridge, a project that was derailed by the pandemic. The photographs from both One of Us and How We See It have previously been displayed at the Museum of Social Justice, and in the case of One of Us, at Los Angeles City Hall.
The exhibit opens on Saturday, September 16â€
