Walk the TaLK

Video Response

PRAXIS
2022

I was invited by the Los Angeles Poverty Department to provide a video response to its incredible Walk the Talk Archive. Walk the Talk is “is a parade with site-specific performances that acknowledge Skid Row residents and workers who have done transformative work in the community.”

Feeling inadequate to provide insightful commentary on the specific dynamics of the neighborhood, I instead provided some thoughts as a Korean American who grew up in LA in the 1980s when the so-called Black-Korean conflict was at its most intense.
