Hank's Mini Mart Collaboration February 2-May 2, 2022

As part of my commission with LA Metro for the Fairview Height Station of the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Project, I have been co-planning a community-led activation called #MemoryFutureLabs with Kelli Jackson, owner of Hank’s Mini Market, and Arianne Edmonds, archivist and founder of the JL Edmonds Project. This long-term activation encourages people who are personally connected to the Hyde Park and Inglewood neighborhoods to contribute their stories, memories, and hopes related to their communities. The activation will take place at Hank’s—a grocery store and cultural hub in Hyde Park that hosts interactive arts activities for the neighborhood—and also extend onto the market’s Instagram. The stories gathered will eventually be archived with the Los Angeles Public Library.

Thank you for support from the Los Angeles Public Library, Inglewood Public Library, Los Angeles Metro and of course Hank’s Mini Market and the J.L. Edmonds Project.
