It’s Flashback Friday! Here is a photo from my physical archival project- Party crew, Together We Stand at a house party somewhere in San Gabriel Valley in 1993. I am extremely grateful to be in a position where people can trust me with their material and stories. This photo along with a thick photo album and other artifacts was donated by my friend Eileen Torres. Eileen was from a party crew called ‘Just Us Girls’ and 'Together We Stand’, two very empowering party crew names. The party scene and backyard gatherings have existed for over decades, and the youth has always found ways to create unique spaces for various reasons- whether it is a survival mechanism, a break from the norm or way of expression, it’s very important to honor that history. Shoutout goes out to the originators of the party scene and everyone who has paved the way for the new/next generation.—Guadalupe Rosales (of @veteranas_and_rucas And @map_pointz) #LACMAInstaResidency http://ift.tt/2vl3IIA -- source link
