Resilience & Rebuilding: The Los Angeles of Tomorrow

Resilience & Rebuilding is an open ended series of virtual programs exploring the impacts of the recent devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, offering a container for conversation and pathways for rebuilding that foreground ecology, community, and collective wellbeing.

The third program in the series will look to a future LA, reimagining a more resilient and environmentally responsible city of tomorrow. Speakers will consider visionary frameworks including architecture that emphasizes the commons, improved insurance systems, traditional ecological knowledge, and artist-led activism.

The goal of Resilience & Rebuilding is to develop guidance for rebuilding efforts, from within and beyond the art sector, over the months and years to come. In addition to inputs from scheduled speakers, we encourage attendees to share their testimony and questions in the chat as part of this evolving document.

Resilience & Rebuilding is supported by Nora McNeely Hurley and the Manitou Fund. The series is jointly organized by MOCA Environmental Council Co-Chairs Andrea Bowers and David Johnson, Environmental Council Advisor John Quigley, and Environmental & Sustainability Strategist Kelsey Shell with support from Alitzah Oros, Public Programming Associate.
