Dear SHG Familia,
It’s with great excitement that I invite you to the Opening Reception of our forthcoming exhibition, Sinks: Places We Call Home, on Saturday, September 21, 2024, from 5:00 PM-8:00 PM at the Luckman Gallery on the campus of Cal State University, Los Angeles. Paid parking is available on campus at parking Structure C (4 hours - $5/ All Day - $10).
We’ve been on a journey with Sinks, curated by Marvella Muro with curatorial assistance by Ana Guajardo, as part of the Getty PST ART: Art & Science Collide initiative over the last four years. This innovative exhibition - produced in partnership with artists Maru Garcia and Beatriz Jaramillo, the Los Angeles County Natural History Museum, community scientists, and partners - highlights the environmental disparities created by manufacturing sites in two communities located near Self Help Graphics: the former Exide Battery plant in Vernon and former Athens Tank Farm (Exxon Mobil) site in Willowbrook. The exhibition elevates the voices and stories of the people who form these neighborhoods and informs audiences about land contamination and alternative solutions.
Please join us as we commemorate this momentous exhibition and share the outcomes of our scientific research and work at the crossroads of art and science in an effort to heal the earth and neighborhoods.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Cuevas
Executive Director
