<h3>Sunday, October 16, 2:00PM</h3><h3><em>Creators in Residence Showcase </em></h3><h3>Kwasi Boyd-Bouldin and River Garza</h3><h3><em>Co-presented with the Los Angeles Public Library</em></h3>

This event marks the culmination of the inaugural Los Angeles Public Library Creators in Residence, highlighting new original work by photographer Kwasi Boyd-Bouldin and visual artist River Garza. Rooted in the Black community and Indigenous Tongva community respectively, Boyd-Bouldin and Garza have produced thoughtful, reflective, gorgeous works in response to their explorations of the Los Angeles Public Library system over the past year. In this conversation, the two artists will discuss their approach to making art, how they were inspired by the LAPL’s mission and role in LA’s diverse neighborhoods, and ways of seeing the city we call home. Following the conversation, experience hands-on activities for all ages, such as printmaking, in the outdoor courtyards. This program also coincides with the showcase of the artists’ photos, mixed media paintings, and writings in an exhibition in the First Floor Galleries.
Attendees will receive a complimentary copy of Kwasi Boyd-Bouldin's <a href="https://www.nonstndrd.com/the-library-zine-project" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Library Zine</a>, featuring photographs and illustrations of each of the Los Angeles Public Library's 73 branch locations (while supplies last).
