Description:
Come meet Shing Yin Khor and Andy Crocker, the Los Angeles Public Library's 2024 Creators in Residence!
Shing's Creators in Residence project resulted in four unique maps and one marionette, which were all inspired by library staff of collections. Shing will be leading a panel discussion with photographer Louis Jacinto and library staff members Robyn Myers and Nydya Mora, who all served as inspiration for these maps, which are currently on view in the First Floor Galleries at Central Library.
For her project, Andy has created a series of playful installations at Central Library and six branches that encourage patrons to explore their neighborhood branches while embodying stories that could only take place in a library. At this event, Andy will be facilitating a playful, experiential introduction to the world of her project. Participants can expect meditative mischief and people-powered storytelling.
About the Creators in Residence program: The Library, in partnership with the Library Foundation of Los Angeles, has established a residency program, Los Angeles Public Library Creators in Residence, designed to engage creative Angelenos from a multitude of disciplines. The program supports local interdisciplinary creators and inspires new work informed or enhanced by the Los Angeles Public Library’s collections and services while also highlighting the impact of the library as a creative haven.
