June 9, COLLECTING STORIES: A Social-Cultural History of the River We will examine social-cultural issues related to the flood control channelization of the riverbed along its 51-mile course. Lined with barbed wire, chain-link fence, graffiti-stained banks, homeless encampments, conservation spots, parks and renewed greenery, bike paths, and kayak paddling, the River is a mirror-image of the city and its history, and its sunshine and noir duality.
MODERATOR: Rodrigo Ribera d’Ebre, documentary filmmaker, writer, and scholar
PANELISTS:
•Chaz Bojorquez, graffiti artist recognized for his unique typeface, and long history ofwriting in the LA River
•Leo Limon, painter and designer of cat faces on the storm drain covers in the LA River
•Judy Baca, creator of the Great Wall of Los Angeles along the LA River
•Saber-Fine, created the world’s largest graffiti piece in the LA River, viewed and documented by satellites in space
