SUMMARY:Flash Point 2017: Twenty-Five Years After the 1992 Los Angeles Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Meyer and Renee Luskin Lecture Series\nSince April 29\, 1992\, the city of Los Angeles has not been the same\, with racial tension peaking and riots sparking across the city making it clear that drastic change was being demanded in the relationship between police officers and racial minorities. Twenty-five years after the LA Uprising\, there is still a question of the treatment of people of color and the socio-political factors in Los Angeles. \nAs our city continues to navigate modern activism\, it is crucial to reflect on the history of political and social organizing that has created the Los Angeles of today. Join us as we utilize art and media to examine the socio-political factors that provoked the 1992 LA Uprising and its impact in the racial and economic climate in LA and across the US today. \nThe events will include two panels featuring a discussion of the evolution of community organizing as well as the role media\, particularly film\, has played in creating and reflecting social change. There will be a gallery displaying a variety of art inspired by the Uprising and a follow-up discussion with the artists. These events will be a co-program with the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival. \nRegister Here \n*Registration is required\, but does not guarantee seating. Seating is first come\, first served.
