SUMMARY:Village Voices
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception for anida yoeu ali: the buddhist bug\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInspired by the creative legacy of the Brockman Gallery and the vibrant cultural hub of Leimert Park Village\, VPAM presents an afternoon of poetry and close engagement with the exhibition Act On It! Artists\, Community\, and the Brockman Gallery in Los Angeles. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public. RSVPs encouraged at the link below.The program will begin with an ekphrastic poetry workshop\, where poet Rebecca Gonzales will guide participants in writing poems inspired by artworks on view. Using observation and creative prompts\, participants will explore how color\, form\, shape\, and gesture can be translated into poetic expression. These original writings will become part of the body of community poetry gathered throughout the exhibition and showcased online as a record of public reflection and response.Afterwards\, the gallery will transform into a stage for a live in-gallery poetry reading\, inviting participants to shift from creators to listeners as they experience new work by a powerful lineup of Black and Latinx poets\, including Tongo Eisen-Martin\, Sara Borjas\, Joseph Rios\, Corey “BessKepp” Cofer\, and V. Kali\, each presenting original poems developed in response to the exhibition. Their readings will reflect on identity\, cultural memory\, and the role of art in building shared understanding across communities. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nShow Credits\n\n\n\nAct On It!

As part of Ofelia Esparza: A Retrospective\, this special walkthrough invites visitors into an intergenerational conversation led by Ofelia Esparza and her family. Together\, they will reflect on the enduring traditions of altar-making that have shaped Esparza’s seven-decade career as a Chicana artist\, altarista\, and educator. \n\n\n\nCentered on the theme of matrilineal power\, the program will highlight how Esparza’s ofrendas serve as expressions of devotion\, remembrance\, creativity\, and cultural celebration. This intimate walkthrough offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with the family that has carried forward a tradition of Day of the Dead and Mexican altar-making for more than eight generations. \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShow Credits\n\n\n\nOfelia Esparza: A Retrospective is organized by the Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College.
