Public Art + Activism in Chile, 1973- 2023

On the 50th Anniversary of the September 11, 1973 military coup in Chile that ushered in 17 years of dictatorship and continuing struggles to address its aftermath, Chilean American visual artist and writer Francisco Letelier offers insight into the use of culture as a tool for building solidarity and advancing justice and democracy. In the half century since the coup, Chilean exiles have created a new home in the US; through solidarity and exchange, efforts for justice in Chile have joined efforts to advance social justice and memory in the United States.

Behind-the-Scenes Moore Lab of Zoology Tour

Tucked within a small liberal arts college in Northeast Los Angeles, the Moore Lab is a hidden gem that houses over 65,000 vintage bird and mammal specimens. Founded by Robert T. Moore, the specimens were kept in his Pasadena home before it became Occidental College’s Moore Laboratory of Zoology in 1951. With the help from an Angeleno collector and a team of researchers in Mexico, our museum specimens largely represent Mexican birds from over 300 sites across the country.
