With a rising cost of living, gentrification, and conversations on the effects of late-stage capitalism both within Los Angeles and throughout the nation, Tía Chucha’s Coateca Collective will engage the culinary arts and offer an alternative perspective to caring for ourselves and community, while also reflecting on the effects of environmental injustices. Additionally, participants will reflect on the historic impacts of racial segregation, outdated urban planning practices, and honor centuries-old Indigenous herbal wisdom from the Chumash and Tataviam tribes.

LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes is a PST ART Community Hub
WHAT IS PST ART
PST ART is a groundbreaking cultural collaboration. Every five years, PST ART unites hundreds of artists around a single, electrifying theme at more than 60 exhibition spaces. While the theme is different each time, the heart of PST ART is always the distinctive cultural identity of Southern California, and the universal hunger for artistic and intellectual discovery. In a region famed for its films and theme parks, PST ART provides a different kind of gripping experience— and the most distinctively Southern Californian of all.
