LOS/NR Art Gallery: I really do have to do my taxes!

I’m back at my trashart and it feels right. I have some ideas inspired by someone I admire. I think the exhibition will be called “trash cyborgs.” I’m making my trash cyborg people now. I’ll invite him to the exhibition but I don’t think he’ll come.
But the big thing that happened this last few weeks, is the third edition of the Youth-Art Climate Exhibition happened at LOS/NR fine art gallery. It’s been this amazing collaboration and synapse-making journey with Dr. Andrei and myself and many others. When we dream together, create together and think together – this is where the answers are.
But rather than veering into the philosophical, the actual day and coming together of the big event was beautiful. The opening day which was actually a Sunday was filled with students and their families. The happiness and joy, and community was palpable. The art work was beautiful and meaningful, and the community that gathered for this event created out of love left feeling more connected. Then we had the reception on Thursday evening, and it was a smaller gathering but the conversations we had that evening were meaningful and ultimately inspiring.
I’m so proud to be a part of this. We had this simple idea five years ago, and it grew and merged with other ideas into this event. The first year it was covered by KPBS. This year it was really experienced by us in this beautiful space.
But I really do have to do my taxes because I still live in this world and not a trash cyborg yet.
