Andrews will draw on her background as choreographer to understand housing, migration and Latino communities in the Harbor region. Following up her Spring 2017 workshop, she will offer a free workshop on October 29th from 11-1:30pm. Her workshop focuses on body mapping, a term she uses to describe the practice of understanding the individual body in collective struggle through pantomime. Her installation will feature images generated from research and workshops and will culminate in a performance activating the AGCC campus on November 4th beginning at 3pm. Edgar Fabián Frías will present Give Us Home Spider a series of ritual performance reenacting the Wixarika's sacred journey to Wirikuta, superimposed on top of channels that distribute goods which arrive in the Port of Los Angeles and move through predominately Latino communities of Los Angeles, the Inland Empire and Coachella Valley. Frías will present a workshop with activist Demi Espinoza on Environmental Racism at 1pm on September 23rd. Dany Naiermanwill present Port Capa. Exploring in and around the San Pedro region, layers of an exploded image portray the significance of how time made a lasting memory based on the fantasy of inclusion. PORT CAPA dissects the flattening of events recorded by landscapes. The happening, a total environment excursion, exposes the thin threshold membranes of unique landscapes by scaling up historical layers, and allows a shift of perception about what is inside and what is outside. The video installation presents the genealogy of puppetry as integral to the advent of industrial automation at the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Automation inherently creates distance manufactured by post-modern industrial architectures. The performance will take place October 21 at 6pm. Paul Pescador will produce Greetings Friends, titled after one of the films that Disney produced, "Saludos Amigos." In 1940, the United States government created the Office of Inter-American Affairs out of concern for the potential Nazi infiltration in Latin America. They hired Walt Disney to produce animated cartoons, most of which focused upon Latin America as subject, some of theses videos took on health issues, such as malaria, water-treatment and tuberculosis. In Pescador's project, he will reconsider these films and their relationship between cultural diplomacy and colonialism. Pescador will present his film followed by a Q + A on October 7th at 7pm in Main Gallery II. Jimena Sarno will create "from sea to shining sea" (FSTSS). FSTSS is a site-specific live sound and choir performance to take place at on September 9th at White Point Nature Preserve. Documentation will be on display at Angels Gate Cultural Center. The project responds to San Pedro's militarization process as a coastal city and the historical significance of the site. With a rich history of immigrant populations, San Pedro's history also aligns with WWII notions of national security, as they still relate today to patriotism and xenophobia. FSTSS connects the history of this militarized, man-made landscape to the normalization of the U.S.'s exceptionalismto legitimize military interventions worldwide, and its ambivalent relationship to the displacement of immigrants and refugees, often a direct result of such interventions. Borrowing its title from the last line of the song "America the Beautiful", the project utilizes the acoustic qualities of the site, ballistics data and weapon sounds as re-structuring parameters to deconstruct and rearrange the song for a choir performance. The C3LA Choir will re-perform the score at 7pm on November 4th in Main Gallery I. Sebastian Hernandez will be creating FTZ, a long-term research and performance- End
