Snapshots from the final event in @thesoundofvictory 's three-part "Playing Beyond the Field" series at @thenmaam , exploring the cultural history of jock jams and the in-arena anthems that have soundtracked decades of sports and sporting experiences. A treat to listen and play alongside @sould615 (@wayyback_wynn & @the.csinclair ) with the musical stylings of @im_loso bringing these songs to life. Deep gratitude to @amaraniss and @vanderbiltu @sportssocietyvu for their continued support and enthusiasm. And a very special thanks to our secret weapon @abobeck.media , capturing these moments and helping us plot and plan behind-the-scenes.

Arts, activism and the power of storytelling. An honor to have Luis C. Garza, the pioneering Chicano photographer whose lens preserved pivotal moments of activism during the 1960s and 1970s, join my LA class @uscannenberg alongside @r88prod filmmakers/directors @alessandro_dop and @heatherflores__la to share excerpts of their award winning films on Luis’s enduring legacy and the @1984muralsdoc and chat with students about artistic process, documentation and the histories of preservation and erasure in Los Angeles.
