Project Description

Fulcrum Arts will present Procession, a large-scale performance and festival of commissioned works at Los Angeles State Historic Park that center and uplift the voices of Indigenous practitioners and other culture bearers, tracing the history of the Los Angeles River.

Procession engages communities with the geographic and cultural memory of Los Angeles through the legacy of the Los Angeles River (Paayme Paxaayt). The project begins this summer and includes storytelling activities, educational workshops, and a performance involving hundreds of Angelenos converging at a free public festival on October 21, 2023. This collaborative work invites residents and participants to engage with the history of the ground beneath our feet and be active agents of change simply by caring for human and more-than-human systems.

Organization Summary

We focus on the intersection of art, science, and social change across the spheres of human creative achievement and reflect on the diverse cultural groups that comprise the Pacific Rim. This geographic focus favors a multicultural dialogue, decentralizing Eurocentric historical narratives in favor of more inclusive perspectives.
The Emerge program supports a broad spectrum of independent artists, collectives, and arts organizations through fiscal sponsorship, professional development, and administrative services. These projects reflect a remarkable variety of artistic practice and dedication to the community that encourage and celebrate the creative expression of groups traditionally underrepresented in mainstream arts institutions; service organizations for artists; and projects that use the arts in the service of social practice.

Fulcrum Arts also offers support to artists, independent arts organizations, and non-profit cultural organizations through fiscal sponsorship, professional development, consulting, and financial services.
