The UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy invites you to join us at the Skid Row History Museum & Archive for a panel discussion entitled, “Tenants in the Streets.” Featuring Lupita Limón Corrales, Deshonay Dozier, Erin McElroy, and Annie Powers, with Pete White as moderator, this program will foreground the struggles of housed and unhoused tenants, those who are forced to live on the streets and take to the streets.

Tents and Tenants: After Echo Park Lake is a public exhibition about how poor people make the city their home, even in the face of state violence. Abandoned by the city during a global pandemic, unhoused organizers created an encampment at Echo Park Lake that soon became an uprising against the policed-propertied order of Los Angeles. The exhibition and associated public programs activate an archive of organizing histories that is intended to be the practice of a collective future.
Join us for the final Tents and Tenants public program on Friday, March 21, 7pm: The Liberatory Living Room, A Performance.
This exhibition is organized by the UCLA Luskin Institute on Inequality and Democracy with support provided by the Mellon Foundation. It is on display February 1-March 30, 2025 at the Skid Row History Museum & Archive, a project of Los Angeles Poverty Department.
Skid Row History Museum & Archive hours: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 2-5pm and by appointment.
