Headwaters
Sunday, February 26th, 2 – 4pm
708 N Manhattan Place
LA, CA 90038
Conversation between Cindy Donis and Julia Jaye Posin, moderated by artist Debra Scacco.
Headwaters considers the definition of the term ‘headwaters’ to reflect extractive intervention of water systems, and how local and international practice impacts local water supply. Through conversation with Cindy Donis (Organizer, East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice) and Julia Jaye Posin (Founding Member, Artists for Amazonia), the conversation will address the macro and micro of upstream / downstream relationships, thereby reinforcing how we are globally connected by water.
Bending the River
Sunday, February 19th, 11am – 1pm
708 N Manhattan Place
LA, CA 90038
Lauren Bon in conversation with Emma Robbins moderated by Megan Steinman
Bending the River is an infrastructure artwork by Lauren Bon and the Metabolic Studio. The project is diverting a small amount of water from the Los Angeles River (which would otherwise go straight to the Pacific), lifting it, cleansing it, and spreading it to a network of public parks (its former floodplain).
This conversation will discuss how Bending the River approaches water infrastructure as community care, and considers how a project like this may be a model for more thoughtful urban infrastructure that moves away from extraction and towards reciprocity.
