Veronica Terriquez, UCLA Luskin professor of urban planning and director of the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, appeared on a Spectrum News 1 broadcast about a multi-media social impact art project in Los Angeles known as “Alta.” The project, a collaboration of photographer and artist Marcus Lyon, the Getty Conservation Institute and the Los Angeles Public Library, represents how the lives of Angelenos intersect with the city and is intended to create a legacy document about Los Angeles, its people and communities. “This exhibit is particularly important at a time when so many communities are struggling. I foresee us coming out of this difficult time and rebuilding and re-imagining a United States that is stronger,” said Terriquez. She also is among the 100 participants featured through photographs, DNA maps and interviews showcased in an exhibition at LA Central Public Library (running through April 27), public activations across regional libraries, outdoor spaces, a podcast and an interactive book.
