Mapping Workshop no. 6 - Mapping Fear - Saturday, October 31, 2-4PM
On Halloween, map wrangler Katie Bachler will lead a walk where we will attempt to explore and map fear - fictive and actual, spatial and emotional - in downtown Los Angeles.
From places with reputations as "haunted" hotels like the Alexandria to dark tunnels, Skid Row and our fear of "the other", what places in the city make us feel fear? Does remedying this always come down to mechanisms like the Safer Cities Initiative, gentrification, an increase in police patrols, and installing street lights and security cameras? We want to discover how feeling scared manifests itself in DTLA's places and its community formation, and we need your help!
The walk will begin at the 7+FIG Art Space at Ernst & Young Plaza on Saturday, October 31 at 2PM. We begin our excursion with a quick check-in, then walk out into the city and return to HABEAS LOUNGE to map our experiences on a wall map.
Free 3-hour validated parking in the 7+FIG parking structure, or take the MTA Red Line to 7th + Metro station.
