Events

Join us for an intimate closing reception of the community centered exhibition Here Lay A Home. Altadena, we invite you to bring your family and friends for a community lead walkthrough with artists of the Here Lay A Home collective (1:00 to 2:00 PM), followed by intergenerational StoryBooth interviews with Perennial Memory Lab (2:00 to 5:00 PM).

StoryBooth is a pop-up style oral history session facilitated by Here Lay A Home and Perennial Memory Lab. Community members are invited to an informal interview space that lends itself to the organic nature of sitting in the living room and sharing stories. This exchange between elders and youth, community residents and community organizers, family and new friends are filmed and recorded by Kennedy Arnette at community gatherings to concisely engage and document collective memory which will be stored within the Here Lay A Home Archive.

This exhibition is made possible in part with lead support from the Perenchio Foundation and the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
