Join us, Las Chicas Peligrosas (Jackie Hernandez), and community artists, partners, and friends on Thursday, September 18th, 2025 from 7-9:30 PM for the opening reception for the exhibition MI QUERIDO LOS ANGELES. “Mi Querido Los Angeles” (My Dearest Los Angeles), a solo exhibition by Las Chicas Peligrosas (Jackie Hernandez), features a series of screen prints centered on the people and culture of various neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles - sharing the reality many Angelenos face, the fear that one day we could become displaced. Featured neighborhoods include MacArthur Park, Pico-Union, Koreatown, and more. The exhibition creates a community-centered space for resources on tenant rights, ways to resist and fight gentrification. The Project seeks to actively engage with community members through a series of free printmaking workshops, offering participants the opportunity to share their stories and identify key places in their neighborhoods that have shaped their lives.
