EXHIBITION CHECKLIST

INHABIT  focuses on issues of land and property. As communities, we have the possibility of using our joint economic and social power to build affordable housing that supports our economic and social well-being. It is facilitated by LATCH collective and At Home Housing.

We invite anyone interested in creating affordable, sustainable housing to come with any questions about tiny houses, intentional community, and the collective building process. As a group, we will share information and resources, and generate practical solutions and designs for building alternative communities in Los Angeles and elsewhere.

LATCH Collective is a network of tiny house enthusiasts supporting each other in designing and building tiny, transportable homes. We organize opportunities for sharing and receiving skills, knowledge, experience, tools and support. We also advocate for increased housing options in Los Angeles, specifically for spaces that are affordable, sustainable, well-designed and safely built.

At Home Housing is an organization dedicated to creating housing opportunities for intentional communities. We organize members, provide trainings, and reach out to those who are interested.  We educate the public and policymakers about the benefits of community living throughout Los Angeles.

ARTICULATE  considers how language can be used as a performative speech act that creates our shared reality. We will explores some deep structures of language and create individualized tools for healing and resistance.

Amanda Yates Garcia is an artist, witch and healer. She draws from a broad range of esoteric strategies including the Western Mystery Traditions of tarot, alchemy and Hermeticism; shamanic healing practices; positive magic and witchcraft; herbalism; energy work (Reiki, tantra and other yogas); psychomagic and more.

UPCOMING EVENTS

CONNECT  addresses the divisiveness created by capitalism based on the creation of scarcity. We will use techniques derived from the Theater of the Oppressed to explore paradigms based in connection and abundance, as well as discuss solutions to the problem of contrived scarcity. This event will be held with Jade Gordon on October 21st, 3-5 pm.

MORE ABOUT DIGNICRAFT

We are a hybrid between an art collective, media production company and distributor of cultural goods, inspired by human dignity and justice, the artisanal process of creation and the potential of collaboration to spark change.

The essence of our art practice is to encourage encounters normally not seen between people of different backgrounds. We do this by producing documentaries, distributing cultural goods such as films and crafts with a great story behind them, or imparting a collaborative workshop as part of a contemporary art project. The most important thing for us is the quality of the relationships we establish and their consequences.

Dignicraft was born of the evolution of collective work that we started in 2000, together with other people under the name Bulbo and Galatea audio/visual. We are Paola Rodríguez, José Luis Figueroa, Omar Foglio, Blanca O. España, David Figueroa and Araceli Blancarte.

This event sponsored by CRSP in association with Dignicraft and the Urban Soil/Tierra Urbana Limited Equity Housing Cooperative
