UnMapping LA: Concrete Landscapes and ReImagined Futures

UnMapping LA explores the hidden histories beneath Los Angeles’ concrete infrastructure, revealing how federal policy, urban development, and human consumption have reshaped the region’s ecological and cultural landscapes. Through historic maps and newly commissioned artworks by Debra Scacco, the exhibition traces forced transformations through time. Juxtaposing past and present, it highlights the systemic forces that prioritize infrastructure over community and environment. Artworks engage in reclamation and resistance, reimagining erased geographies and offering pathways toward environmental justice, restoration, and resilience.
