IN RESPONSE TO THAT
Following the salon, is music (see below) as part of the a reception for IN RESPONSE TO THAT exhibit . Amy Seidman presents a photographic time capsule of The Great LA Clean Up, the grass roots response to the LA Riots in 1993.
During the Great LA Clean Up, hundreds of non-profit groups and thousands of volunteers engaged in community activism such as tree plantings and coastal clean ups. These images serve as inspiration for us to find solutions to the challenges we currently face. Circumstances brought out the best in people to shift their environment, and reveal the potential of the human spirit to make positive changes in our world. Together, we can make it happen.
