What can be learned from Old Town? What can you see and not see? Join guest collaborators for a walk organized by Maryam Hosseinzadeh in Old Town Pasadena.
Social history, urban redevelopment, shared spaces, personal memory, and the places where they meet. This walk welcomes the participation of anyone interested in sharing their own experiences, too.
Approx. 3-3 1/2 hours.
This will be the culminating event of Maryam’s WCCW residency at the Armory Center for the Arts, which she will spend organizing and producing this public walking tour, as well as a booklet and map, as part of an ongoing, long-term project on community-based and word-of-mouth histories of Pasadena and Altadena.
Maryam Hosseinzadeh is a native Angeleno interested in the layered sites, memories, places and histories encountered individually and created collectively by all people, everyday. Originally from Altadena, she has lived in Northeast Los Angeles most recently for the past nine years. Some of her past projects include walks for the Craft and Folk Art Museum, the MAK Center, and Machine Project’s Guide to Modern Architecture in LA.
