5/15 @ 7:00pm- PALO ALTO: A Panel Discussion with Malcom Harris, LA Poverty Department, and LA Tenants Union @ Skid Row Museum

Join us at the Skid Row Museum on Monday 5/15 at 7pm for a panel discussion with the LA Poverty Department, LA Tenants Union, and author Malcom Harris. 

The Skid Row History Museum and Archive is a exhibition /performing arts space curated by LA Poverty Department. It foregrounds the distinctive artistic and historical consciousness of Skid Row and functions as a means for exploring the mechanics of displacement in an age of immense income inequality, by mining a neighborhood’s activist history and amplifying effective community strategies. The space operates as an archive, exhibition, performance and meeting space. Exhibitions focus on grassroots strategies that have preserved the neighborhood from successive threats of gentrification and displacement, to be studied for current adaptation and use.
