No Going Back LA
is excited to document the journey of visual and performing artists from Los Angeles County communities who have been left behind, ignored and underserved for decades. By telling the LA story through public art we hope to start a dialogue with all of you about where we’ve been, where we are and where we want to go next. The truth is, a broken system is no longer tolerable.
