The Ideal X- Welcome Guests!
HOLA’s Public Art Residency is a team effort. Carolina and David have organized some awesome guest appearances who will run a variety of workshops with the students exploring the impacts of shipping containers.
A special welcome to all of our guest facilitators:
Vincent Ramos is an artist from Los Angeles. He received his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts (2007) and his BFA from Otis College of Art and Design (2002). His practice transforms archival material into new work, recovering the lost histories of Los Angeles’s marginalized communities and providing a deeper understanding of the history that we are taught.
Suné Woods (@constellationmatters) is an artist living in Los Angeles. She received her BFA from University of Miami (1997), and MFA from California College of the Arts (2010). Woods is interested in the breadth of intimacy and how it is achieved and relayed through interpersonal relationships and political events. She uses familial dynamics, speculative narratives, and historical happenings to further underscore this potency.
East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice is a community-based organization that works to facilitate self-advocates in East Los Angeles, Southeast Los Angeles and Long Beach. By providing workshops & trainings about environmental justice, they prepare community members to engage in the decision-making processes that directly impacts their health and quality of life.
LA Waterkeeper safeguards LA’s inland and coastal waters by enforcing laws and empowering communities. Along with hundreds of other Waterkeeper Organizations, our movement works for swimmable, drinkable and fishable waterways worldwide.
Follow them to keep up on their work, and stay tuned for more on the Ideal X!
