Part of the L.A. Omnibus Series, Salvage Efforts reflects on the afterlife of the US Intervention in El Salvador, intergenerational dynamics of US-Salvi cultural memory and what it means to engage histories of solidarity in Los Angeles. Join as we consider the question: What does it mean to transmit these histories of resistance and struggle to the generations that follow?

Featuring sociologist Leisy Abrego, visual artist Eddie Rodolfo Aparicio, fiction writer Rubén Reyes, and filmmaker Sara Aguilar.

L.A. Omnibus is a forum for Los Angeles artists, writers, and thinkers to share ideas, pose questions, and uncover our unique communities. Deriving inspiration from the Latin meaning of Omnibus, “for all,” these programs explore how our dynamic city is constantly shifting, settling, and remaking itself. This season, L.A. Omnibus is curated by Raquel Gutierrez.
