Today was so cool! Gladys was full of people today because this weekend is the annual Festival for All Skid Row Artists put on by our friends in @lapovertydepartment! There were plenty of talented people showing off their art and abilities, lotsa music and creations and people sharing their stories. We tried to come prepared by doubling up on the food we made, but we can only pull off so much with the tiny kitchens we operate out of! Still, we had a top notch spread to share, and it all began last night when we slow roasted cherry tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and corn until 2am to be made into a nice salsa today. So the menu for today wound up being tacos with white rice, Mexican squash and soyrizo, the slow roasted corn salsa, and coleslaw, with our usual salad, barbecue cauliflower wings, fried plantains, sugar cookies, apples, grapes, and raspberries. We also distributed the leftover produce we had from this week’s Food Forward drop, pet food, and so many boxes of delicious vegan jerky donated to us by @bestiesveganparadise! @doodleswithoutborders were there and hung up the FNB banner they made, finally finished after a few weeks of being gradually contributed to by us and the community we serve. It looked so awesome. Feeling super grateful to be a part of this city and the people in it. 😭🥰

We are looking back on some of the artwork featured in our We Live In Public show @thirdhousestudios_vannuys We Live In Public: Unhoused Artists of the San Fernando Valley 09.11.2026 - 09.27.2026 The city has plans to sweep the people, along with their most precious belongings. They do this routinely through the brutality of city agencies designed to manage and maintain homelessness. The police are there to enforce poverty with their guns. It is their job. Our job is to dream and protect one another for whatever comes next. We will not be swept into dark corners. To all the art shows that we will never see because the city declared us a “threat to public health and safety” because we could not afford this world. We Live to Build Our World: The dreams of the people flood these underpasses. A labor of love that weathers the harshest of conditions.

friends, thank you for joining us for Doodling without Borders in L.A., a workshop facilitated by doodles without borders (@doodleswithoutborders) and Anna Cho-Son (@annachoson) at the LA Koreatown Tenants Union (@latu_ktown)! At the workshop, co-facilitators Anna and Hayk discussed L.A.-based project, doodles without borders, sifted through graffiti messages throughout Los Angeles spanning the last 30-40 years, and the hostile architecture that retaliates against our most vulnerable communities. We also talked about the ways our communities create our own visual architecture throughout the city. ‘Doodling without Borders in L.A.’ activated the most recent issue of our Pamphlet Series, ‘Drawing our own terms: doodles without borders in L.A.’ where Anna and Hayk trace the origins of doodles without borders, tenants rights organizing in Los Angeles, the importance of language-work toward political education, pushing against the presumption of the so-called inevitable, and “becoming neighborly with (un)governance.” You can read a short excerpt of the conversation online at ungovernable.study and get your copy of our handmade risograph-printed edition in-person at the Pittsburgh Art Book Fair (@pghartbookfair) later this month, and through mail order with Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative (@justseeds) later this Fall! All proceeds from this issue of our Pamphlet Series support the L.A. Koreatown Tenants Union brick-and-mortar community space, please join us in supporting the fundraiser by making your own donation directly at the link in their bio. This gathering and publication are part of “on the land … in the poem”, our dispersed curriculum of gatherings, resources, and conversations unfolding throughout 2026–27 gathered by kimi malka hanauer (@kimi.malka.hanauer), produced with Anna Cho Son (@annachoson), and initiated alongside the 59th Carnegie International (@carnegiemuseumofart). Please Note: Images 9 + 10 are from the 1992 Uprisings in South Central; if you happen to know who took these photographs, we would be grateful to credit them. All image descriptions are embedded.

Get Ready. Here it comes. The 17th annual Festival for All Skid Row Artists (FASRA) arrives on Saturday and Sunday, October 24 and 25, from 12–4pm each day. Presented by the Los Angeles Poverty Department (LAPD) the festival is two days of live non-stop music and performance, visual art, and participatory art workshops, showcasing the diverse range of talents among Skid Row residents. The Ase Ashe Drummers from the Heart will be our ‘house band’ again. Many Skid Row Artists will be back, some for the 17th time! And artists are preparing their acts and works of art for this majorly anticipated community event. Robin Hoodloom will present his Harm Reduction Song "On A Good One", which was produced with a Microgrant from the Skid Row Arts Alliance. Over 150 Skid Row Artists perform or display their artwork at the two-day festival, and we’ll interview whoever wants to.

It hit 100 degrees today, which is always a little scary. We again tried to come prepared with a cooler, lighter serve. On the menu was teriyaki chickpeas with broccoli and onion and bell peppers, white rice to pour it over, cold cucumber sesame noodles in a tahini sauce, fried rice, a big salad, cucumber basil sorbet, blueberry cobbler, bananas, and of course plenty of water. 🥵🥵🥵 If you reading this can, try to freeze some bottles of water to hand out to those of us who are on the streets today. Little gestures like that can make the difference between life and death sometimes. Our new friends at @doodleswithoutborders also showed up with their free art table for folks to draw on. They even started a beautiful Food Not Bombs banner that will be gradually contributed to. It’s coming along great. They set up weekly at Gladys on Tuesdays from 4:30-6, but will be with us at least one Saturday a month, too! Always a good idea to catch some shade and blow off some steam with a marker. ✍️

We’re delighted to share the newest edition in our Pamphlet Series, ‘Drawing our own terms: on doodles without borders in L.A.’ with Hayk Makhmuryan, artist and organizer of doodles without borders (@doodleswithoutborders), and Anna Cho-Son (@annasonnnn), artist and assistant editor with ungovernable study (@ungovernable.study) in NYC and LA this week 📖♥️ ~*~*all proceeds support the @latu_ktown community space fundraiser*~*~link in bio to make a direct donation~*~* 📖 Last year, when we gathered with fellow independent publishers for our Publishers Working Group, Hayk asked, “I want to be governed, but the question is, to be governed by whom?” 📖 Picking up on this potent line of questioning, Anna and Hayk discuss the origins of doodles without borders, tenants rights organizing in Los Angeles, the importance of language-work toward political education, pushing against the presumption of the so-called inevitable, and “becoming neighborly with (un)governance.” 📖 Together, Anna and Hayk ground our dispersed curriculum, “on the land … in the poem,” in our team’s beloved city of Los Angeles, the place where anarchists, likely for the first time anywhere in so-called united states, held up banners painted with the phrase “become ungovernable,” in protests against the Democratic National Convention of 2000. [1] ~*~*get your copy in Los Angeles and New York this week*~*~ 📖 available in L.A. today, Sunday, September 20th at our workshop, ‘Doodling without Borders in L.A.’ co-hosted with @doodleswithoutborders and facilitated by Hayk Makhmuryan and Anna Cho-Son at the LA Koreatown Tenants Union (@latu_ktown) community space from 5:00 – 7:00pm; next weekend in New York at the Printed Matter Art Book Fair (@printedmatter_artbookfairs) booth A36; and by mail order later this fall with Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative (@justseeds). 📖 ‘Drawing our own terms’ is the first published conversation of our 2026–27 dispersed curriculum, “on the land … in the poem,” stewarded by kimi malka hanauer (@kimi.malka.hanauer) alongside the 59th Carnegie International (@carnegiemuseums) and distributed by Justseeds Artists Cooperative (@justseeds). descriptions embedded.

Amigos de Los Ángeles, ¡únanse a nosotros para “Doodling without Borders in L.A.” (Garabateando sin fronteras en L.A.), un taller que se llevará a cabo en el local de Coreatown del Sindicato de Inquilinos de Los Angeles (@latu_ktown) este domingo 20 de septiembre, de 5:00 a 7:00 p.m.! Organizado conjuntamente por ungovernable study, estudio ingobernable, (@ungovernable.study) y doodles without borders, Garabateando sin fronteras en L.A., (@doodleswithoutborders), “doodling without borders” da vida a la edición más reciente de nuestra serie de folletos (*Pamphlet Series*), la cual presenta una conversación entre Anna Cho-Son (@annasonnnn), artista y asistente de edicion de ungovernable study, y Hayk Makhmuryan, artista y organizador de doodles without borders (@doodleswithoutborders). El taller reúne a participantes para explorar nuestra capacidad de moldear directamente nuestros entornos, construir poder y “trazar nuestros propios términos” frente a la rápida gentrificación y los ataques hostiles contra nuestras vidas compartidas. Los participantes serán guiados a través del historial reciente del diseño de carteles políticos, pancartas y diseños de campañas en Los Ángeles y más allá. Mediante el collage, el dibujo y el diseño digital, los participantes pondrán en práctica nuevas herramientas para crear carteles y reflexionarán sobre el impacto de la creación artística colectiva como una práctica de “defensa arraigada al territorio”. Se requiere confirmación de asistencia (RSVP); ¡habrá interpretación en vivo al español! Se proporcionan todos los materiales, pero siéntanse libres de traer sus propios papeles, materiales de collage, herramientas y cualquier otra cosa que deseen utilizar en sus creaciones. La edición más reciente de nuestra serie de folletos, “Drawing our own terms: on doodles without borders in LA” (Trazando nuestros propios términos: sobre doodles without borders en L.A.), realizada con @doodleswithoutborders y @annasonnnn, se lanza en Los Ángeles este domingo durante el taller y en Nueva York más adelante este mes, en la NY Art Book Fair de Printed Matter.
