Plática – Erasing and Restoring Memory at El Pueblo de Los Ángeles

November 4 at 7pm

At LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes

Civic Center, Los Angeles

Attendees receive a curated list of off-the-beaten-path stories and landmarks at El Pueblo de Los Ángeles Historical Monument to explore after the panel.
Advance RSVP recommended; walk-ins accommodated as space permits.

David Alfaro Siqueiros's 1932 mural América Tropical, whitewashed for decades, anchors an interactive panel on Latinx identity, citizenship, and censorship. Four scholars and a curator examine the mural's erasure and restoration, connecting 1930s Los Angeles to today, with curated stops through El Pueblo de Los Ángeles Historical Monument.
