Alex Sizemore (MA 2018) presents Collective Action: Artists for Housing and Homeless Rights, which investigates the devastating impacts of the California housing crisis. Featuring the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project (AEMP) and Los Angeles Poverty Department (LAPD), a community-based theater group working in Skid Row, the one-day program demonstrates the powerful role community-based arts play in visualizing issues of housing inequality. The day begins with participatory workshops by AEMP on conducting oral history interviews, followed by a curator's walk-through of the CAAM exhibition Adler Guerrier: Conditions and Form for BLCK Longevity. In the afternoon, LAPD will present an excerpt of their performance, What Fuels Development?. The program concludes with a panel discussion featuring both collectives who will discuss art's capacity as a transformative political force.
