Six Southern California–based artists lead multimedia projects mapping the geopolitical implications of the largest West Coast ports situated in San Pedro as part of a larger conversation about the United States border.
Part of a year-long series of artist-led programs, Coastal/Border will examine the function of the San Pedro coast as a national border and its impact on the Latino/Latina communities of the Los Angeles Harbor Region as part of a larger conversation about the United States border. The exhibition will emerge from a site-specific performance series and closely related social practice workshops. Six artists will be invited to create research-driven performances centered on specific sites in the Los Angeles Harbor Region, such as the Port of America, Terminal Island, and Fort MacArthur. As part of their extended research process, the artists will also lead educational workshops to allow for meaningful community involvement in the resulting exhibition and performances.
