Featured Program
Boyle Heights: Neighborhood Sites and Insights
Boyle Heights: Neighborhood Sites and Insights is a multifaceted collaborative exhibition and partnership initiative that explores the history and transformation of a significant Los Angeles neighborhood. Situated just east of the Los Angeles river, Boyle Heights has long been a gateway for newcomers to the city. From the 1920s to the 1950s it was Los Angeles' most heterogenous neighborhood, serving as home to large concentrations of Jews, Mexicans, and Japanese Americans, as well as Russian Molokans, African Americans, and people of Armenian, Italian, and Chinese descent. Today the neighborhood is primarily Latino, and it continues to serve as a port-of-entry for a number of the city's immigrant groups.
The project focuses on neighborhood life as a complex whole, rather than on discrete ethnic groups, underscoring multicultural and multigenerational interaction and exchange. Through artifacts, photographs, original artwork, media components, and interactive environments, the exhibition will present a multivocal interpretation of community life. The particular and unique characteristics of Boyle Heights will be explored through the communities, local organizations, and first-person perspectives of its residents-past and present- with the twofold aim of assessing both local significance and the broader social dynamics and processes of change typical to other American urban communities.
