Re-envisioning Resilience: Reflections on the LA Wildfires (OPENING RECEPTION)

(THROUGH AUG. 2) As a community, we continue to grieve the devastation caused by the recent wildfires and stand with those who have lost homes, businesses, and loved ones. We acknowledge that the lives, livelihoods, and lands affected by this tragedy will never be the same.

The solidarity displayed by Angelenos during this time has been unprecedented. Communities, businesses, and individuals have come together to offer comfort, solace, guidance, resources, and countless other forms of support. The Barnsdall Junior Art Center Gallery stands with the city’s rehabilitation efforts, offering an opportunity for artworks to be created as a means of processing the recent events while also envisioning a hopeful future.

The works displayed here serve as reflections, responses, and an envisioning of the future transformation of our communities and habitats in Los Angeles.
