Creative Resilience - Uplifting LA's Union Workers Through Art
10 Day Event Production 

I served as the Event Production Manager at Spitfire partnering with the People’s Project, a Los Angeles nonprofit powered by the Los Angeles Federation of Labor, to produce Creative Resilience, an artful community experience that amplified the voices of BIPOC Angeleno workers, sounded the call for economic justice and celebrated the city’s vibrant cultural history of resilience.

​The 10-day event took place in October 2022 in the heart of Los Angeles’ bustling arts district. For the project, Spitfire transformed a 10,000-square-foot raw warehouse space into a creative hub and gathering space full of joy and celebration focused on economic and racial justice. We commissioned work from 50 artists and performers and brought together activists, celebrities and local leaders to celebrate the working people who make up the heart and soul of Los Angeles.

My role included developing and managing the project plan to bring the 10-day event to life including managing the core streams of art curation, venue production, performance curation, workshop development and education. I then served on site for the duration of the event leading the team facilitation to bring Creative Resilience to life.
