HEAL HEAR HERE
Community Chorus in the Park
Saturday, May 20, 3–7PM
LA State Historic Park:
1245 N. Spring St. LA, CA 90012
Free

LA Freewaves and 30 art organizations are offering L.A. County residents a free healing art event called HEAL HEAR HERE at the LA State Historic Park. The extraordinary event will explore many healing art modes curated by a broad community of arts organizations, working together to create a central event to help revive Los Angeles from these years of pandemic, racial injustice and economic disruption. The unprecedented event will feature 30 artworks and performances to create a multi-sensory, multicultural environment that encourages people to break out of isolation and into a reparative afternoon of collective care.

All will partake in striking ways: visual, aural, engaging, and active by Black, Latinx, Asian, Indigenous, and white artists. Dispersed areas in the park will be activated by 15 performing artists and 15 installation artists, creating spaces for social engagement and artistic participation around the themes of recovery and community. Artistic practices will navigate attendees’ different journeys through personal and collective trauma to address the healing process in several new ways.

Community Chorus is a collective singing space, on-call activist chorus, and experimental performing ensemble led by artist Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs and conductor Tany Ling.
