Finding La Yarda | Interactive Installation
Finding La Yarda is an immersive multimedia art experience recreating a room from La Yarda, the housing unit built for Mexican American railroad workers in Lawrence, Kansas from 1920-51. Using film, sound, art, and digital storytelling practices, Finding La Yarda brings oral history to life by taking audiences on a cultural journey through time and place. Contributing Artists include Justin Favela, Ann Dean, Jonathan Christensen Caballero, Brenna Buchanan Young, Jeremy Rockwell, Peter Jasso, and Marlo Angell.
INSIGHT Art Talk | September 16, 7 pm
Join us for an evening with the Finding La Yarda team of artists as they discuss the process and history of the Finding La Yarda installation!
We use letters to make words. We use words to tell stories. Artists use lines and shapes to convey ideas. These ideas tell stories. Rediscover the alphabet from A to Z. In this unique show, 26 artists each turn a single letter into a striking piece of art. Using lines, shapes, and historical references, they create compelling stories inspired by their chosen letter. Don’t miss this creative journey where every letter presents a fresh perspective in various mediums.
