A Tender Excavation approaches research-based artistic practices through propositions of alternative histories, bringing together a group of artists who work with historical and familial photographic archives as a point of departure to construct new narratives and elicit transformation.

Moderated by archivist and public historian Moriah Ulinskas, this conversation will address how artists and local organizations work with historical and community archives. Speakers include Lylliam Posadas, co-founder and co-director of Your Neighborhood Museum; Keko Jackson, artist/Archivist at Los Angeles Contemporary Archive; and artists Leah King, and Camille Wong. The program concludes with a live music performance by Leah King at 4:00 PM.
