Space Review: Junior High Los Angeles
What: Informal arts & retail space
Where: Junior High, Hollywood
Activist Faye Orlove's intimate, informal community space is one of my favorite places to get cultured in LA. Even NYLON magazine is obsessed. Junior High self-describes as a promoter of marginalized voices.
I've gone to a handful of events at the Hollywood upcycled storefront. Most memorable was the group show, Cosmic Not Exotic, an inward look at the fetishization of artists of color.
From workshops to pop-up shows to mounted exhibitions, Junior High will make you feel as inspired as your first slumber party did. All under the watchful eye of their patron saint, Olivia Benson.
Opening this weekend, Our Stories: Returning Home, explores lands, rituals and traditions we have always known.
