The UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy is pleased to announce Tents and Tenants: After Echo Park Lake, a groundbreaking exhibition that activates public history and reflects on practices of collective organization. Abandoned by the city during a global pandemic, unhoused organizers created an encampment that became an uprising. Its archive is the practice of a collective future.
Join us at the Skid Row History Museum & Archive for the opening reception on February 1, 2025, where the public is invited to experience how housed and unhoused tenants alike imagine, fight for, and produce in microcosm a world beyond housing capitalism.
