Fulcrum Arts / homeLA
Fund: $45,000
homeLA, fiscally sponsored by Fulcrum Arts, will present a site-specific performance and installation at the Rowland Mansion featuring Nao Bustamante, Victoria Marks, Rosa Rodríguez-Frazier, and Eva Aguila. The project will situate these artists in conversation with the La Puente Valley Historical Society to further and more overtly disrupt the dominant monocultural interpretive tendencies of historic sites to reflect the richness of human experience of those who have called the Rowland Mansion and La Puente Valley Rancho home. With practices already critically engaged with the complexities of identity, these artists seek to create work that addresses and challenges dominant societal narratives with art that bridges historical, personal, and collective experiences. Drawing from the Rowland Mansion archive, independent research, community feedback, and personal histories, they will offer alternative narratives to capture the complexity of historical realities of early Southern California settlement.
