Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:32:00 GMT

A 116-year-old craftsman-style home in Altadena has been designated Los Angeles County’s latest historic landmark, officials announced earlier this week.  The two-story single-family residence, located at 931 New York Drive, was constructed in 1907 for local journalist Alvick Pearson, according to the L.A.

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:32:00 GMT

Across a prismatically eclectic selection of eight new and historical works of video art by women of color, American Gurl takes an unflinching, multidimensional look at Black feminine experience within the hierarchies of the American Dream. Through stylistically diverse works from long-form interview to cognitive manifesto, digital collage, performance-based short film, and starkly conceptual music video, the exhibition departs from a paradox at the heart of our society — how the perspectives of women of color are both central to and marginalized within American culture.Carrie Mae Weems
