Shukree Hassan Tilghman, a 29-year-old African-American filmmaker, sets out on a cross-country campaign to end Black History Month. He stops in various cities, wearing a sandwich board, to solicit signatures on his petition to end the observance. He explains that relegating Black History Month to the coldest, shortest month of the year is an insult, and that black history is not separate from American history.

Los Angeles – Icons and Other Impressions

Exhibit runs through Sunday, April 15

The Annenberg Beach House, 415 Pacific Coast Hwy, Santa Monica
FREE

we have assembled photographs by each of our 10 artists which are most symbolic of the city of Los Angeles. Some are its buildings familiar to most of us, some are its beach areas and piers, some are museums and other public places, some are murals and street art, but they all are uniquely “L. A.”, and could be considered as the city’s icons. Since each of the photographers in the project group has their own individual approach to their art, the exhibited images show a wide diversity of techniques and represent a composite view.
