Historic Highland Park:
This month, we lost two leaders in our community, Linda Phelps and Mr. Gabriel Monge from Burbank Luther Middle School. I extend my condolences to the families and loved ones of Linda and Mr. Monge. While I did not get to meet either, I have been reading about the incredible heart of service that they had and the difference they made in our communities. Whether or not we knew them, we must honor people who have paved the way for the Historic Highland Park we have today. With that, I’d like to acknowledge that we are in a time of much grief, sorrow, and loss. We are here for you as the Board and as your neighbors and want to support you and advocate for you as we are able.
You will notice in our newsletter today, and now on our website as well, that we have Google form where you can submit your ideas, feedback, and concerns. This form can be anonymous or not and if the submission requires a response, we will do our best to get back to you! Getting to meet and work with each community member is one of my favorite parts of serving on the board; so please let us hear from you!
Lastly, we are in a time of transition. We transitioning away from the pandemic and into a state of greater security in our public health, as our city works to vaccinate. We are also in a transition as a board as we begin to vote for the 2021-2023 Historic Highland Park Neighborhood Council Board and prepare for a smooth hand-off to them. We are in a time of limbo, but we can remain hopeful about the future as we continue to shape the future that we want to see today through the Neighborhood Council Board and the many other wonderful change-making institutions in our community.
We invite you to read the important information in this newsletter and share with those who you believe may benefit from it.
Have a safe and healthy March everyone.

Karrabing Film Collective
Wednesday, March 3 @ 5PM
|
|
Join Oxy Arts for a selection of shorts from the Karrabing Film Collective, followed by a Q&A with collective member Elizabeth Povinelli.
The Karrabing Film Collective is a media group based in Australia’s Northern Territories that uses filmmaking and installation as a form of Indigenous grassroots resistance and self-organization. The collective’s members—predominantly living in the Belyuen community—together create films using an “improvisational realism” that opens a space beyond binaries of the fictional and the documentary, the past and the present. Meaning “low tide” in the Emmiyengal language, karrabing refers to a form of collectivity outside of government-imposed strictures of clanship or land ownership. Shot on handheld cameras and phones, most of Karrabing’s films dramatize and satirize the daily scenarios and obstacles that members face in their various interactions with corporate and state entities. Composing webs of nonlinear narratives that touch on cultural memory, place, and ancestry by freely jumping in time and place, Karrabing exposes and intervenes into the longstanding facets of colonial violence that impact members directly, such as environmental devastation, land restrictions, and economic exploitation.
Elizabeth Povinelli is a critical theorist, filmmaker, and professor of Anthropology at Columbia University.
