OLAAI has LOVED our Artivism Project of Lawndale’s (APL)

inaugural youth cohort experience with 10 Lawndalians. We’ve been building and

researching, discussing and creating with new friends these past two months and it

has been dope. A whirlwind of finding our way, staying connected, rooting in

Lawndale’s history, mapping our lived experiences and archiving our ideas and

stories in our own special ways.
