SUMMARY:Welcome Back! Balloon Installation & Community Dialogue with Frances Anderton
DESCRIPTION:Free\nWe’ve been through unprecedented times\, marked by a retreat from public spaces and by a reevaluation of intimate spaces. On Sunday\, September 18th from 2:00 to 4:00 pm\, join Frances Anderton and  The L.A. Forum for Architecture and Urban Design as we welcome you back and we’ve blown up big balloons! Thought balloons with your messages and observations about how you occupied space over the last 2 ½ years are on display. Welcome to the conversation. \nFor over two years\, we have been confronted with a novel approach to living in space\, one that is unfamiliar and mostly unprecedented. Social distancing and isolation have had a multitude of effects on the global population\, on how we relate to each other and to space. During this pandemic\, (personal) space has increased for some and decreased for others\, with access to and options for different safe physical and mental spaces being sadly granted on the basis of income and privilege. \nThe L.A. Forum for Architecture and Urban Design invites the Los Angeles community to join the conversation about space in a “post-pandemic” world. Two and half months ago L.A. Forum released their limited edition Welcome Back! newsletter that included big balloons! They asked you to write or draw your perception of space during the pandemic on this pneumatic object. \nWhat do you define as a safe space\, physical or mental? | What felt like home during this time\, and how it felt to be (forced) at home? | What spaces did you wish to have more access to or were grateful for? | How did your spatial routine change? \nWith this Welcome Back! Balloon Installation and Community Dialogue\, we’ve created an exhibit with your responses\, celebrating you and your reflections at this public gathering\, one honoring the special exchange that naturally occurs when humans interact in space together. \n“Alone in the empty city. So vast\, so quiet\, for me alone.” \n“2022\, we are ‘normal’ again but I hold space for the new ‘me’ I found.”

SUMMARY:Welcome Blanket Exhibition Closing Event
DESCRIPTION:Free \nJoin us! For the closing of Welcome Blanket on Saturday September 17 @ 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm \nWelcome Blanket is a platform for engagement that transforms the abstract concept of immigration into a tangible crowd-sourced artistic action. Handcraft makers are invited to make Welcome Blankets that include notecards with stories important to their families about immigration/migration/relocation to create symbolic and practical gifts of welcome for new refugees coming to the United States. These gifts are collected\, catalogued\, and displayed at art institutions and exhibitions. After each show’s close\, Welcome Blanket’s 30+ partner refugee resettlement groups present these tangible gifts of welcome to our newest neighbors. \nWelcome Blanket makes its inaugural Los Angeles exhibit at Helms Bakery District and will continue at Skirball Cultural Center and LAX airport. A national initiative in partnership with other museums and cultural institutions will continue in the years to follow. \nExhibition Dates\nAugust 4th through September 17th\nViewing Hours on Saturdays from 12:00 to 4:00 PM \n\nABOUT WELCOME BLANKET\nWoven into the fabric of our country is the fundamental idea that our diversity and individual freedoms\, together\, allow for our personal stories that collectively make the United States a great nation. The diverse migration stories are human stories; yet the abstraction of immigration\, from sweeping government policies to the use of language\, particularly by the media\, perpetuates “otherness\,” removing us from these human stories\, ones that we all have. Welcome Blanket is a platform for engagement that transforms this abstraction into a tangible\, crowd-sourced\, artistic action. Participants use their heads\, hearts\, hands\, and histories to craft the country they wish to see. \nWelcome Blanket was initially a response to the proposed 2000-mile border wall between Mexico and the United States. The project reimagined the 2000-mile length\, one of exclusion\, as 2000 miles of yarn to make individual welcome blankets for refugees coming to the United States. Handcraft makers who knit\, sew\, quilt\, crochet\, weave\, felt\, etc.\, use any textile to make 40 inch x 40 inch blankets that are easy to care for and hard to give away. They included stories important to their families about immigration\, migration\, or relocation\, creating symbolic and practical gifts of welcome for new refugees coming to the United States. These gifts are collected\, cataloged\, and displayed at art and cultural institutions. During these exhibits\, the message of welcome is amplified through hosting craft circles\, performances\, discussions\, forums\, and legal assistance for immigrants. Post-show\, our 30+ partner refugee resettlement groups present these tangible gifts of welcome to our newest neighbors. Over 6500 have been made and distributed. \nAfter reaching our initial goal of 2000 miles of yarn\, resulting in 3400 blankets\, the impact was clear. New immigrants felt the welcome; they felt seen as they were gifted these heartfelt\, handmade blankets–a symbol of home\, itself. And the makers reflected the diversity of this country: the youngest was 4 and the oldest 104; there were evangelical Christians\, Muslims\, Jews\, Buddhists; and there were makers from a wide range of political leanings. Many participants had diverse migration stories\, from being descendants of slaves to displaced Native Americans\, from recent refugees to descendants of the Mayflower. \nWelcome Blanket’s impact reflected a sense of inclusion and we set a new goal–to bring people together to develop a new American tradition of welcome. We aim to create an enduring project and build a community of connection\, a network that creates thresholds of welcome that is a public visual pronouncement and a private and tactile experience. We are building a tapestry of American migration history\, connecting the stories of past migrations with people coming to the United States right now\, and creating a space to discuss the complex issues around immigration with humanity. \nMake a Welcome Blanket\, share your story\, come together and craft. Join us.\nFor more information: welcomeblanket.org and @welcomeblanket \nPrevious Exhibitions\nMuseum of Design Atlanta (Atlanta\, GA)\nSmart Museum of Art (Chicago\, IL)\nFuller Craft Museum (Boston\, MA)\nBuild Peace Conference (San Diego and Tijuana)\nWelcome Blanket Brookline \nUpcoming Exhibitions\nSan Francisco International Airport (San Francisco\, CA)\nHeritage Winooski Mill Museum (Winooski\, VT)\nRevere History Museum (Revere\, MA) \n\nABOUT JAYNA\nJayna Zweiman is an architecturally-trained multidisciplinary artist and designer. Her independent practice combines architecture\, art\, craft\, and new media to focus on experiences that overlap physical\, virtual\, and conceptual spaces. \nPerhaps best known as the co-creator and co-founder of Pussyhat Project\, an international network and movement of women’s rights supporters\, Zweiman has become a leading advocate of utilizing design innovation to enact social change. Pussyhat Project became a worldwide phenomenon at the 2017 Women’s Marches with one of the largest crowd-sourced art advocacy projects ever. She is also the creator and founder of Welcome Blanket\, a reconceptualization of the 2000-mile length of the proposed border wall as 2000-mile length of yarn to make individual welcome blankets for new immigrants coming to the United States. \nZweiman’s work has been exhibited and published internationally. Her work has been nominated for the Beazley Design of the Year by the Design Museum in London\, has been acquired by the Victoria & Albert Museum\, and has been awarded the first ever Brand of the Year by the School of Visual Arts. Zweiman was awarded in 2017 as one of “The 25 People Who Defined Visual Culture” by Artsy.\nJayna earned her AB from Brown University with concentrations in visual arts and economics and her Master in Architecture from Harvard University Graduate School of Design. She lives and works in Los Angeles. \nSpecial thanks to Welcome Blanket sponsors:

SUMMARY:Conversation with Documentary Filmmaker Khadim Dai
DESCRIPTION:Free\nAs part of the Welcome Blanket exhibition at the Helms Design Center\, please join us on Thursday\, September 15th from 7:00 to 8:30 pm for a conversation\, film screening and Q+A with filmmaker Khadim Dai. Khadim will be joining us remotely from Pakistan. He will be sharing two shorts: “Your Dust Will Carry” and “Machid.” \nYour Dust Will Carry\nA sense of obligation to keep the memories of his friends and classmates alive\, Dai films at his friends’ graveyard on the seventh anniversary of their deaths. As he begins filming\, a stranger approaches and gives him some news. \nMachid\nMachid\, 12 years old\, is the second generation of Hazaras refugees living in Pakistan. Confined in the ghetto built for Hazaras in Quetta\, Machid explores her surroundings as she is growing from a careless child into a curious teen. Growing in the middle of ongoing genocide\, Machid is beginning to question the “normal life” in her community. \n \nAbout Khadim\nKhadim Dai is a filmmaker from Afghanistan. His family fled to Pakistan when he was two years old to escape Taliban persecution of his minority group\, the Hazara people. He has lived most of his life as a refugee in Pakistan and\, after surviving a school bombing in 2013\, he fled on his own to Indonesia. There\, he lived in a refugee settlement for three years and started documenting his experience. Khadim has been making documentary films since 2014. He worked as a cinematographer for the “The Staging Post” and “Chasing Asylum.” His films have been shown at the Van Abbemuseum\, Ian Potter Museum of Art\, QUT Art Museum\, and the REDCAT.

The project reimagined the 2000-mile length\, one of exclusion\, as 2000 miles of yarn to make individual welcome blankets for refugees coming to the United States. Handcraft makers who knit\, sew\, quilt\, crochet\, weave\, felt\, etc.\, use any textile to make 40 inch x 40 inch blankets that are easy to care for and hard to give away. They included stories important to their families about immigration\, migration\, or relocation\, creating symbolic and practical gifts of welcome for new refugees coming to the United States. These gifts are collected\, cataloged\, and displayed at art and cultural institutions. During these exhibits\, the message of welcome is amplified through hosting craft circles\, performances\, discussions\, forums\, and legal assistance for immigrants. Post-show\, our 30+ partner refugee resettlement groups present these tangible gifts of welcome to our newest neighbors. Over 6500 have been made and distributed. \nAfter reaching our initial goal of 2000 miles of yarn\, resulting in 3400 blankets\, the impact was clear. New immigrants felt the welcome; they felt seen as they were gifted these heartfelt\, handmade blankets–a symbol of home\, itself. And the makers reflected the diversity of this country: the youngest was 4 and the oldest 104; there were evangelical Christians\, Muslims\, Jews\, Buddhists; and there were makers from a wide range of political leanings. Many participants had diverse migration stories\, from being descendants of slaves to displaced Native Americans\, from recent refugees to descendants of the Mayflower. \nWelcome Blanket’s impact reflected a sense of inclusion and we set a new goal–to bring people together to develop a new American tradition of welcome. We aim to create an enduring project and build a community of connection\, a network that creates thresholds of welcome that is a public visual pronouncement and a private and tactile experience. We are building a tapestry of American migration history\, connecting the stories of past migrations with people coming to the United States right now\, and creating a space to discuss the complex issues around immigration with humanity. \nMake a Welcome Blanket\, share your story\, come together and craft.

SUMMARY:Welcome Blanket: An Exhibition + Conversation with Jayna Zweiman
DESCRIPTION:Free \nOn Thursday\, August 4th from 6:30 – 8:30 PM\, please join us for an opening reception of  Welcome Blanket with founder Jayna Zweiman in conversation with cultural journalist Frances Anderton. \nWelcome Blanket is a platform for engagement that transforms the abstract concept of immigration into a tangible crowd-sourced artistic action. Handcraft makers are invited to make Welcome Blankets that include notecards with stories important to their families about immigration/migration/relocation to create symbolic and practical gifts of welcome for new refugees coming to the United States. These gifts are collected\, catalogued\, and displayed at art institutions and exhibitions. After each show’s close\, Welcome Blanket’s 30+ partner refugee resettlement groups present these tangible gifts of welcome to our newest neighbors. \nWelcome Blanket makes its inaugural Los Angeles exhibit at Helms Bakery District and will continue at Skirball Cultural Center and LAX airport. A national initiative in partnership with other museums and cultural institutions will continue in the years to follow. \nExhibition Dates\nAugust 4th through September 24th\nViewing Hours on Saturdays from 12:00 to 4:00 PM \n\nABOUT WELCOME BLANKET\nWoven into the fabric of our country is the fundamental idea that our diversity and individual freedoms\, together\, allow for our personal stories that collectively make the United States a great nation. The diverse migration stories are human stories; yet the abstraction of immigration\, from sweeping government policies to the use of language\, particularly by the media\, perpetuates “otherness\,” removing us from these human stories\, ones that we all have. Welcome Blanket is a platform for engagement that transforms this abstraction into a tangible\, crowd-sourced\, artistic action. Participants use their heads\, hearts\, hands\, and histories to craft the country they wish to see. \nWelcome Blanket was initially a response to the proposed 2000-mile border wall between Mexico and the United States. The project reimagined the 2000-mile length\, one of exclusion\, as 2000 miles of yarn to make individual welcome blankets for refugees coming to the United States. Handcraft makers who knit\, sew\, quilt\, crochet\, weave\, felt\, etc.\, use any textile to make 40 inch x 40 inch blankets that are easy to care for and hard to give away. They included stories important to their families about immigration\, migration\, or relocation\, creating symbolic and practical gifts of welcome for new refugees coming to the United States. These gifts are collected\, cataloged\, and displayed at art and cultural institutions. During these exhibits\, the message of welcome is amplified through hosting craft circles\, performances\, discussions\, forums\, and legal assistance for immigrants. Post-show\, our 30+ partner refugee resettlement groups present these tangible gifts of welcome to our newest neighbors. Over 6500 have been made and distributed. \nAfter reaching our initial goal of 2000 miles of yarn\, resulting in 3400 blankets\, the impact was clear. New immigrants felt the welcome; they felt seen as they were gifted these heartfelt\, handmade blankets–a symbol of home\, itself. And the makers reflected the diversity of this country: the youngest was 4 and the oldest 104; there were evangelical Christians\, Muslims\, Jews\, Buddhists; and there were makers from a wide range of political leanings. Many participants had diverse migration stories\, from being descendants of slaves to displaced Native Americans\, from recent refugees to descendants of the Mayflower. \nWelcome Blanket’s impact reflected a sense of inclusion and we set a new goal–to bring people together to develop a new American tradition of welcome. We aim to create an enduring project and build a community of connection\, a network that creates thresholds of welcome that is a public visual pronouncement and a private and tactile experience. We are building a tapestry of American migration history\, connecting the stories of past migrations with people coming to the United States right now\, and creating a space to discuss the complex issues around immigration with humanity. \nMake a Welcome Blanket\, share your story\, come together and craft.

SUMMARY:Extract No More: Phasing Out Oil Drilling in Greater Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Helms Design Center\n8745 Washington Boulevard | Doors Open at 7:45 for breakfast and mingling prior to the discussion. \nOn Thursday\, July 28th\, from 8:30 to 9:30 AM\, please join Westside Urban Forum for a member networking and panel discussion that considers how Greater Los Angeles will transition away from fossil fuel extraction and how these brownfields may be reclaimed for regenerative new land uses. \nRSVP REQUIRED – REGISTER HERE\nOil was first discovered in Los Angeles in 1892\, and by the 1920s helped propel California to become the leading oil producer in the United States\, accounting for one-quarter of the world’s petroleum output. Alongside real estate\, aerospace\, and film\, the petroleum industry enabled the rapid growth and development of our region. To this day\, visitors to Los Angeles International Airport are greeted by the pumpjacks of the Baldwin Hills Oil Field\, with many others hidden behind illusory facades. \nOil and gas is no longer the regional economic megalith it once was\, but it has straddled Los Angeles with a harmful and unintended consequence: the nation’s largest urban oil field. There are 68 active oil fields in the Los Angeles Basin\, and more than 20\,000 active\, idle\, or abandoned oil wells scattered throughout our densely populated urban fabric\, many of them within close proximity of homes\, schools\, parks\, and other sensitive land uses. They pose acute risks to human and environmental health via air pollution as well as water and soil contamination\, and they disproportionately impact historically Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. \nAfter ten years of community organizing and advocacy by environmental justice groups\, including the STAND-L.A. coalition\, the City of Los Angeles and County of Los Angeles have committed to phasing out urban oil wells. While it is relatively easy to prevent new wells through land use action\, how to close\, cap\, and remediate the existing and abandoned wells – and how such efforts will be paid for – is a more complicated affair. Additionally\, there is the consideration of the jobs that will be displaced and what opportunities exist in a “Just Transition” to a clean energy economy. \nConfirmed Panelists: \nAlison Hahm\, Staff Attorney\, Communities for a Better Environment \nDavid McNeill\, Executive Officer\, Baldwin Hills Conservancy \nLaura Muraida\, Senior Deputy for Environmental Justice\, Office of Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell \nNicole Levin\, Beyond Dirty Fuels Campaign Representative\, Sierra Club \nSean Hecht (Moderator)\, Co-Executive Director\, UCLA Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment \nRegistration Fees\n$50 Members\n$65 Non-Members\n$10 Student Members\n$15 Student Non-Members \nPre-registration closes on Tuesday\, July 26th\, at 9:00 PM. After Tuesday\, July 26th\, onsite registration will be available at the cost of an additional $10. No refunds or credits will be provided after this day. \nPhoto Credit – Baldwin Hills Oil Field (Source: The Center for Land Use Interpretation\, licensed under an Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Creative Commons License)

SUMMARY:Closing Day for the Exhibition In Harmony with Nature: The Architectural Work of James Hubbell
DESCRIPTION:Helms Design Center\n8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\nExhibition runs April 22 – June 18\, 2022\nViewing hours:  12 PM – 5 PM \nJames Hubbell is a painter\, sculptor and architectural designer who has spent 60 years designing and making buildings\, artifacts and fine artworks that reflect a deep passion for the ocean and for earth’s gifts. From Ilan Lael\, his self-made home\, workshops and foundation in Julian near San Diego\, Hubbell has created schools in concert with the community in Tijuana\, an organic chapel at Sea Ranch\, and parks that span the cultures of the Pacific Rim. \nHubbell’s vision is the antithesis of rational and industrial. “Most important is my infatuation with nature\,” he says. “There is also my love of the primitive and naive\, gothic architecture\, the arts and craft movement\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, Gaudi\, and the pleasure of working with the material of stone\, wood\, cement\, clay\, metal\, glass\, and mosaics.” \nNow Angelenos can see his architectural work shown for the first time in L.A. at an exhibition opening on Earth Day at Helms Bakery District in Culver City. The installation brings to life Ilan-Lael\, his Pacific Rim Park and schools in Tijuana\, his chapel at Sea Ranch as well as stunning doors\, windows and other decorative building elements including his extraordinary stained glass window for Findhorn\, the spiritual retreat in Scotland. \nAbove: The Sea Ranch Chapel by James Hubbell | Photo © Craig Tooley\, Ruffimage.com\n\n		\n	 \n \n\n \n	\n		\n		\nBoys' House\, Ilan-Lael\, Julian\, CA  |  Photo ©John Durant\n\n\nJames Hubbell | Photo ©Don Musial\n\n\nBoys' House Interior\, Ilan-Lael\, Julian\, CA  |  Photo ©John Durant\n\n\nJames Hubbell in his studio | Photo ©John Durant\n\n\nInterior of The Sea Ranch Chapel |  Photo ©Craig Tooley\n\n\nJames Hubbell's Firebird | Photo ©Laurel Costa\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition - Art as Community | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition - Firebird Window | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition - Sea Ranch Chapel | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition - Sea Ranch Chapel | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\n\n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n		\n		\n	  \n	\n		\n		\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			\nAll artwork is copyrighted work of the artists.

SUMMARY:Join L.A. GOAL for "Mother Nature Survived It (and I Will Too)"
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, June 11th from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm\, please join L.A. GOAL in celebrating their show\, Mother Nature Survived It (and I Will Too). As part of L.A. GOAL’s mission to foster a more inclusive society\, there will also be artworks created by artists from the broader Los Angeles County community. A show by artists of all abilities! \nL.A. GOAL is a non-profit organization that partners with adults with developmental disabilities and their support networks to assist them in living more fulfilling lives. Many of the artworks featured in this exhibition were created by artists with developmental disabilities. These artists are employed by L.A. GOAL’s professional art studio\, Inside Out Productions. \nThis art exhibition aims to highlight the ways in which pandemic circumstances affect our relationship with nature and how that relationship affects our experience of healing\, strength\, and community. During this global pandemic\, many people were traveling less\, spending more time at home\, and moving their gatherings to the outdoors. Since then\, our relationship to nature has likely changed. Whether we are hiking or camping\, taking a walk in the park\, tending to a houseplant\, or rendering images of landscapes\, nature finds its way into our lives one way or another. It may find itself in our homes and our neighborhoods in small and perhaps overlooked ways. \nTo learn more about L.A. GOAL and Inside Out Productions\, please visit our websites:\nwww.lagoal.org\nwww.insideoutproductions.com \nPlease note: Masks will be required at this event.

SUMMARY:In Harmony with Nature: The Architectural Work of James Hubbell
DESCRIPTION:Helms Design Center\n8745 Washington Boulevard\, Culver City\nExhibition runs April 22 – June 18\, 2022\nViewing hours: Friday-Sunday\, 12 PM – 5 PM \nJames Hubbell is a painter\, sculptor and architectural designer who has spent 60 years designing and making buildings\, artifacts and fine artworks that reflect a deep passion for the ocean and for earth’s gifts. From Ilan Lael\, his self-made home\, workshops and foundation in Julian near San Diego\, Hubbell has created schools in concert with the community in Tijuana\, an organic chapel at Sea Ranch\, and parks that span the cultures of the Pacific Rim. \nHubbell’s vision is the antithesis of rational and industrial. “Most important is my infatuation with nature\,” he says. “There is also my love of the primitive and naive\, gothic architecture\, the arts and craft movement\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, Gaudi\, and the pleasure of working with the material of stone\, wood\, cement\, clay\, metal\, glass\, and mosaics.” \nNow Angelenos can see his architectural work shown for the first time in L.A. at an exhibition opening on Earth Day at Helms Bakery District in Culver City. The installation brings to life Ilan-Lael\, his Pacific Rim Park and schools in Tijuana\, his chapel at Sea Ranch as well as stunning doors\, windows and other decorative building elements including his extraordinary stained glass window for Findhorn\, the spiritual retreat in Scotland. \nAbove: The Sea Ranch Chapel by James Hubbell | Photo © Craig Tooley\, Ruffimage.com\n\n		\n	 \n \n\n \n	\n		\n		\nBoys' House\, Ilan-Lael\, Julian\, CA  |  Photo ©John Durant\n\n\nJames Hubbell | Photo ©Don Musial\n\n\nBoys' House Interior\, Ilan-Lael\, Julian\, CA  |  Photo ©John Durant\n\n\nJames Hubbell in his studio | Photo ©John Durant\n\n\nInterior of The Sea Ranch Chapel |  Photo ©Craig Tooley\n\n\nJames Hubbell's Firebird | Photo ©Laurel Costa\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition - Art as Community | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition - Firebird Window | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition - Sea Ranch Chapel | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\nJames Hubbell Exhibition - Sea Ranch Chapel | Photo ©Titano Cruz\n\n\n\n\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n		\n		\n	  \n	\n		\n		\n		\n	 \n \n	\n		\n			\nAll artwork is copyrighted work of the artists.
