Visions and Voices: Seeing Los Angeles

Doheny Room 233
4:00pm-

In the vast geography of Southern California, whole communities disappear between freeway exits. As these neighborhoods and histories are rendered invisible, we must ask how many Angelenos actually see the city in which they live. Moderated by Los Angeles Times columnist and KPCC radio host Patt Morrison, this discussion will offer new ways of looking at a city that few residents ever experience in its entirety. The discussion will also feature writer and Lakewood city official D.J. Waldie, UCLA professor of architectural history Thomas S. Hines, USC professor of American studies and ethnicity George Sanchez and award-winning poet Marisela Norte. The panelists will address aspects of the city that remain largely unknown even to many longtime residents. Hines will focus on the complexities of the continuing revitalization of once-faded downtown architecture. Sanchez will address the dramatic transformation of Los Angeles communities resulting from the influx of Latino immigrants. Waldie and Norte, who travel exclusively via public transportation, will describe some of the sights that are only visible from city buses.  www.usc.edu/visionandvoices
