Summary-description
NELA Stories engages with community members who have lived and shaped the local cultural landscape of Northeast Los Angeles (NELA) between the 1950s or earlier through the 2000s. This project is the first step of a sustained effort to document NELA history through personal interviews of its inhabitants and cultural contributors. The interviews were conducted in teams of two by undergraduate students in the Occidental College history course “Countercultural Northeast LA: The Arts of Resistance” during the Spring semester of 2019. Recordings were used as the basis of an exhibition entitled “Compass Rose” by artist Debra Scacco, on public view at Occidental’s Oxy Arts space on York Blvd during the Spring and Summer of 2019. An interactive digital exhibit of the interviews produced by Oxy’s Center for Digital Liberal Arts (CDLA), with complete transcripts, photographs, and other materials, is viewable on smart phone, tablet or computer at http://scalar.cdla.oxycreates.org/nela-stories.
