MICHAEL ZINZUN - MESSAGE TO THE GRASSROOTS: POLICE BRUTALITY: MYTH OR REALITY
An episode of Message to the Grassroots, a cable access talk show produced & hosted by Miachael Zinzun from 1988 - 1998 at Pasadena Community Access Corporation, which is now Pasadena Media. This first program is devoted to police brutality. LAUREN HALSEY: THE CRENSHAW DISTRICT HIEROGLYPH PROJECT
Lauren Halsey has created a prototype for what she calls The Crenshaw District Hieroglyph Project, which, when completed, will be realized in a public space on Crenshaw Boulevard that formerly held an African bazaar, which she frequented as a child. Halsey has created a functional space built of plywood and gypsum, a mineral that has been used in the construction of major structures for thousands of years, including in the pyramids of Ancient Egypt. Sampling and reinterpreting ancient hieroglyphic writing, Halsey has individually inscribed every panel on the main structure with signifiers of her community and neighborhood of South Central. These inscriptions feature a range of images, including local storefront signage, portraits of family and friends, lowriders, tags, and local landmarks. The piece was on view at the Hammer Museum. |
