A panel with Audrey Chan, Sara Daleiden, and Naomi Okuyama, moderated by Elana Mann, with a performance by Corey Fogel

Hungry Ears is a virtual panel that will examine ongoing art and equity issues in the greater Los Angeles area, a region that is reckoning with vast inequalities, systemic racism and the Covid-19 recovery. This conversation will consider a number of local projects including: The Care We Create, a large scale mural on the façade of SoCal ACLU by Audrey Chan, the Art of Recovery initiative, one of which is taking place at 18th Street Arts Center organized by Sara Daleiden, and Belmar History + Art, a public artwork in Santa Monica administered by Noami Okuyama. This conversation considers how artists and arts administrators can be key community organizers in movements for social change. The event will culminate with a percussive performance by Corey Fogel involving Elana Mann’s instruments.

A discussion with Jeff Schwartz, a musician who works by day as a librarian at the Santa Monica Public Library. For five years, Schwartz organized a free public concert series of experimental music in the auditorium in the main branch of the Santa Monica Public Library. Now that Covid-19 has effectively ended those concerts, Mann will look back on this series with Schwartz to discuss issues of art, access and sustainability.
