Celebrate/Demonstrate: Photographs of Global L.A.
Fowler Museum presents images of diverse cultural celebrations and street demonstrations in LA
This exhibition of photographs on view at the Fowler Museum offer visitors an intimate view of three annual celebrations held around Los Angeles as well as images from the "Day without an Immigrant" boycot rally that took place in 2006.
A new exhibition at the Fowler Museum features compelling images of festivals and political rallies by California-based photographer Cindy Bendat, whose work highlights the extraordinary cultural diversity of the greater Los Angeles area.Bendat’s photographs illustrate ways in which immigrants maintain homeland traditions in the United States and express their ethnic and cultural identities. The events Bendat photographs, she says, are about “parents teaching their children who they are and where they came from.”
“They are about pride. They are about joy.”
“Celebrate/Demonstrate: Photographs of Global L.A.” will be on view at the Fowler Museum at UCLA from January 17 to May 8.— Rowanne Henry, Jan. 14, 2016
