Invited by Leonardo Bravo to participate in Big City Forum‘s residency at the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, Claret-Cup participated with a series of three events, aimed at representing the vibrant and evolving social fabric of Los Angeles on an unfinished map of the Los Angeles basin. The map, on display at the Armory mezzanine at the first event on September 5th, was “annotated” through two subsequent events by collecting and representing individual tales from inhabitants and self-proclaimed Los Angelists to describe their connection to the city.
