Glendale Library, Arts & Culture and ReflectSpace are proud to present “Projecting L.A. 2024,” a unique photographic project that presents an intimate and kaleidoscopic view of Los Angeles, its diverse communities, and unwieldy streets.
The brainchild of Julia Dean—photographer, educator, writer, and founder of the Los Angeles Center of Photography—”Projecting L.A.” brings together a vast spectrum of photographers to tell the story of Los Angeles through photojournalism, documentary, and street photography. The project cuts across cultural, gender, socio-political, generational, community, and physical boundaries and offers an often chaotic but colorful panorama of our city—as seen through the lens of some of its best image makers.
“Projecting L.A. 2024” was screened on April 27, 2024, in a one-of-a-kind outdoor projection screening in Chinatown on the side of a three-story building for over 2,000 spectators. The ReflectSpace iteration of “Projecting L.A.” will present a more intimate indoor experience.
The exhibition, co-curated by Julia Dean, Daniel Sackheim, and Ara & Anahid Oshagan, features contemporary photographers: Wednesday Aja, Karen Ballard, Jill Connelly, Julia Dean, Marta Evry, Laurie Freitag, Amy Gaskin, Alon Goldsmith, David Ingraham, Jamie Johnson, Gail Just, Mike Lynch, Sarah Reingewirtz, Dan Sackheim, Rick Smith, Joshua Stern, David Swanson, Richard Vogel, Jason Williams. Five decades of documentary work by photographers: Cristina Salvador Klenz, Richard McCloskey, Don Weinstein, Robert Yager. Special guests: Jeff Bridges, Susan Bridges, Ringo Chiu, Larry Hirshowitz, Christina House/Los Angeles Times, Estevan Oriol, Francine Orr, Allen J. Schaben/Los Angeles Times.
“Projecting L.A. 2024” will be on view October 5 – December 8, 2024. ReflectSpace is located inside Glendale Central Library. For more information, visit ReflectSpace.org.
