HOLA (Heart of Los Angeles) and Selecto Planta Baja collaborated to present an installation by HOLA students. Working with Los Angeles based artists, Carribean Fragoza, Maggie Lomeli, Alice Clements, Patricia Valencia, and Vincent Ramos, the students created a distinct body of work representative of their experiences as young people living within the urban environment of Los Angeles.

The exhibition included a video premiere, costumes, sculpture, screen printing, and drawings.  

For the fifth and final week of the course, artist Patricia Valencia returned to finish filming the performances with the student groups. We were also joined by master printer Maggie Lomeli to start the beginning stages of designing the exhibition poster for the upcoming show. Both artists will work in collaboration with Vincent Ramos and the students after this week to refine all aspects of the work, leading up to the exhibition at the artist-run gallery, Selecto Planta Baja.
