Community and Unity: Clockshop's 2nd Annual Kite Festival

Описание: This family-friendly cultural festival is an opportunity to bring together diverse communities in Los Angeles through the art of kite making and a day full of joy, culture, and uplift through the arts. In collaboration with the American Kiteflyers Association it featured a “gallery in the sky,” including flying demonstrations with kite masters Kim Wong and the Tyrus Wong Family, Scott Skinner, and Joe Hadzicki; natural fabric dyeing workshops with artist Carly Lake, design/printmaking workshops with Yuju Yeo and Dewey Tafoya, and paper crafts with the Chinese American Museum; and musical performances with DJ Miz Honey P, Johny Miguel Trombone and Electronics, and the Changui Majadero band. Artist Audrey Chan created unique kite designs that were unveiled at the event, and referenced both the social histories of LA State Historic Park as well as serve as a rallying cry to preserve public land for future generations.

This event is designed as a community celebration honoring the communities surrounding LASHP that fought for and stewarded this public park land, recognizing their resilience, cultural histories, and aspirations. Community & Unity Kite Festival is made possible by the support and sponsorship of CA State Parks, the American Kitefliers Association, the Resources Legacy Foundation, REI Co-op, Arts District Community Council LA, the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, and Clockshop’s generous community of donors.
