Antena and Libros Antena Books (Los Angeles) present a cross-language event that includes a poetry reading featuring work written in languages other than English with and without translations, and an interactive cartonera book workshop with Cartonera Santanera (Santa Ana), Kaya Press (Los Angeles), Kodama Cartonera (Tijuana), and Tiny Splendor (Los Angeles). Cartonera bookmaking is a DIY art that invites active community participation in the process of making and publishing books using recycled materials.
The workshop will be in Spanish and English; interpretation provided by Antena Los Ángeles.
In Real Life: Recycled Languages is a Public Engagement project organized by January Parkos Arnall, Curatorial Associate, Public Engagement. The Hammer Museum’s Public Engagement program is supported, in part, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.
