Exhibition:
MI QUERIDO LOS ANGELES

“Mi Querido Los Angeles” (My Dearest Los Angeles), a solo exhibition by Las Chicas Peligrosas (Jackie Hernandez), features a series of screen prints centered on the people and culture of various neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles - sharing the reality many Angelenos face, the fear that one day we could become displaced. Featured neighborhoods include MacArthur Park, Pico-Union, Koreatown, and more. The exhibition creates a community-centered space for resources on tenant rights, ways to resist and fight gentrification.  The Project seeks to actively engage with community members through a series of free printmaking workshops, offering participants the opportunity to share their stories and identify key places in their neighborhoods that have shaped their lives.

“Mi Querido Los Ángeles”, exposición individual de Las Chicas Peligrosas (Jackie Hernandez), presenta una serie de serigrafías centradas en la gente y la cultura de diversos barrios de Los Ángeles.

Entre los barrios que se presentan se encuentran MacArthur Park, Pico-Union, Koreatown y más. La exposición crea un espacio comunitario con recursos sobre los derechos de los inquilinos y maneras de resistir y combatir la gentrificación.
