The “Borders and Boundaries” section of the Fowler’s current exhibition, The Map and the Territory, explores how borders affect individuals, communities, and places. UCLA professor Eric Avila’s book, The Folklore of the Freeway: Race and Revolt in the Modern City, maps the creative strategies devised by urban communities in the 1960s and 1970s to document and protest the damage wrought by highways, which destroyed many communities of color. Join the Fowler and Avila to learn about the impact of redlining on LA’s Boyle Heights; the work of the Latinx artists who critique and satirize highway construction as a racist and sexist enterprise; and the influence of diverse communities on urban policy.
