How do artists find balance between growing and sustaining the work within their communities of practice with the desire to share and “teach” a wider public? Join a dynamic conversation on cultural sustainability with Los Angeles-based artists and cultural leaders, including Lucumí priest and folklorist Ysamur M. Flores-Peña; performer Nobuko Miyamoto of Great Leap, Inc.; president of the Garifuna American Heritage Foundation United, Inc., Cheryl Noralez; and House and Ball practitioner Sean Milan of Reach LA.

This event is part of 2018-2019 TARS (Traditional Arts Roundtable Series) season “Ritual + Improvisation in Los Angeles.” RSVP to tars.losangeles@gmail.com
