Art Without Walls: Sounds of Freedom

Saturday, March 17, 2–4 p.m. (Off-site: Felipe de Neve Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library; 2820 W. 6th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90057)

Sunday, March 18, 11 a.m.–1 p.m. (Hammer Museum)

What would a memory look like if you re-created it through sound? Teaching artist Ismael de Anda leads a workshop that emphasizes empathy and listening skills as kids create soundscapes based on a time when their grown-up felt free.

Families convened at the Felipe de Neve Branch Library and the Hammer Museum to recreate memories of a time when they felt free, using sound as their primary medium! These soundscapes were captured on audio and can be enjoyed via SoundCloud.

Art can transcend barriers of all kinds. Families create art inspired by social justice issues, children’s literature, and Hammer exhibitions. The same activities are offered at each site. The program at the Hammer includes storytelling in the galleries. The program at the library is bilingual in Spanish and English.

Recommended for children ages 7+, teens, and grownups.
