Uprisings is a series of site drawings and a guided tour tracing the fault lines of Los Angeles through its major ruptures. The project begins with hand‑drawn studies of places marked by conflict—Chávez Ravine during the Zoot Suit era, the Watts neighborhood in 1965, the intersections that ignited in 1992. Each drawing is a quiet record of a charged site, rendered with the stillness of a place long after the crowd has dispersed.

The drawings became the map for a performance in the city itself. I gathered a small group and led them to each location, moving through Los Angeles like a reversed Hollywood tour—one organized not around celebrity, but around the histories the city tries to forget. At every stop, I read aloud the story of how the uprising began, placing the group inside the first moments of each rupture, the way the Panorama situates viewers on the night before the 1992 verdict.

The work unfolds slowly: a drawing, a street corner, a story spoken into the air. The scale is modest, but the experience is intimate and charged. Uprisings turns the city into an open‑air archive, asking viewers to stand inside the origins of each event and feel the distance between what remains visible and what has been erased.
