The organizations presented in the exhibition feature a diverse, cross-section of artist-run groups in Los Angeles whose aim is to amplify voices in our community and to support underrepresented artists who otherwise would be lost to history. Organizations such as the Auntie Sewing Squad, which started as a response to the lack of protective masks available to at risk communities, represent the organic ways in which some initiatives evolve out of necessity and need.
