Project Description
Love, Leimert is a love letter to Leimert Park presenting moving image artworks by ten artists working with a diverse range of styles and subject matter. Utilizing archival images, Super8, animation and collage, the artworks celebrate the cultural vibrancy of Leimert Park and the surrounding neighborhoods.
Colors explode through blossoming gardens, celebratory parades unfurl, rhythms emanate from dancing feet around drum circles as individual stories and shared experiences unfold onscreen. Citing local architecture, imagery and symbolism, the works further investigate Leimert Park’s layered cultural traditions and history. Linking past and present, Love, Leimert honors the people that call Leimert Park home and those dedicated to preserving its legacy.
