A three event series, “Yaangna, Beyond LA. Indigenous Frameworks,” presented within the context of the project Shaping the Past.

How can Indigenous frameworks and methodologies help cities and counties change policy to address the lack of visibility of Native/Indigenous Peoples? Focusing on three Los Angeles locations significant to Native/indigenous peoples, this series of events brings together artists, Elders, Tribal Members, scholars, and activists into dialogue about authentic narratives, strategies for policy change, the future of public/civic art, civic memory, and memory culture: “What must we not forget?”

Artists Cindi Alvitre and Guadalupe Rosales share their visions for new forms of memorialization and monument-making from trees, digital altars and living archives, as-well-as how they steward stories and present them to the public.
