Celebrate the stories of Black, Brown and Indigenous communities in the first-of-its-kind free festival in L.A.’s Grand Park! Presented in collaboration with For Freedoms and Kinfolk, We ARe Here: A Celebration of Legacy pairs the worlds of physical and digital artistic experiences to broaden our understanding of L.A.’s ancestral history. Explore the idea of what legacy means in our world today by being part of a new way to memorialize unsung heroes with an augmented reality experience to witness the digital monuments of BIPOC historical figures throughout the park, appearing before your very eyes. This event will be hosted in honor of Biddy Mason Day, and we invite the whole family to enjoy live music, spoken word performances, artmaking, food and more!
Presented in collaboration with For Freedoms and Kinfolk.
