River Session Mile 15: Brackish Water Los Angeles
(Please note that this is a new event posting for the same event originally scheduled for Oct. 12!)
Join us for an afternoon exploring the intersection of art, science, and community in an area previously considered wetlands before the channelization of the LA River.
At the University Art Gallery at CSU Dominguez Hills, we will have a guided tour and talk with Debra Scacco, the co-director of the multi-year research project , a Getty exhibit named for water that results from saltwater and freshwater meeting. The project considers the larger implications of in-betweenness, including issues of access, inclusion, ecological racism, and cultural/class system interchanges along Los Angeles’ waterways.
This is a unique opportunity to experience a special exhibit in a group setting and participate in vital discussions on environmental planning, climate justice, and water politics.
Let’s explore the special history and ecological dynamics of the South Los Angeles community and imagine new environmental possibilities.
Stay tuned for more details and more potential special guests!

River Sessions are guided site visits and walks to experience art, culture, and place along the 51 miles of the LA River. In the spirit of Hyonaayn’ar--a Tongva word that means both teacher and student--participants will learn about the River’s ephemeral histories and imagine it’s ecological futures, all while exploring diverse and dynamic cultural responses to the watershed.
