River Sessions: Poet Laureates on Wheels with El BiciCrófono & LA Poet SocietyIn this collaboration with El BiciCrófono and Los Angeles Poet Society, we’re celebrating Native American Heritage Month by hitting the LA River Bikeway, rolling with poets from across Southern California as they recite their work and help us tap into our own poetic responses to the places we visit along the way.
El BiciCrófono is a “bicycle-towed, human-powered mobile community performance stage and platform” that can be spotted at bicycle gatherings in LA year round. Often hosting music acts such as cumbia band Poco Pocho, the stage will be home to many different voices on this special trip down the River as they amplify messages of climate justice, #LandBack, and healing, among others. We will be joined by many fantastic artists from the fabric of the Los Angeles Poet Society, which has been connecting artists across Southern California since 2009.

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.
