Bridging San Pedro

August 2019 - April 2020

Visual Literacy as Community Practice  focused on the development of visual literacy in San Pedro community members through hands-on making and deep listening exercises. Four artists with singular, but intersecting, art projects led community workshops at Angels Gate Cultural Center (AGCC) to foster a greater awareness and association between the Port of Los Angeles, life in San Pedro and art as a daily lived experience. Community members created artworks  used to compose the final art pieces.  These projects culminated in an exhibition in the AGCC galleries during the first quarter of 2020.

Artists: Blue McRight, June Edmonds, Alexis Slickelman and Cole James
