- Phamplet announcing an Emergency Benefit for the displaced in Chiapas featuring Tijuana No! Ozomatli, The Blues Experiment & Chencha Berrinches in 1998.
The show took place at the Centro Regeneración /Popular Resource Center in Highland Park. This venue was created by a collective of Chicanas/os activists, among them Zack de la Rocha from Rage Against the Machine. During the 1990s, the PRC or “The Space” was a pivotal location that simultaneously served as an arts space, music venue, and political organizing forum where Rock Angelino, Chicano Groove, and socially conscious bands from a multitude of genres performed.
The PRC was a vital site for both LÁ music and political organizing in a traditionally Latina/o neighbor that is currently besieged by real estate speculators, thus producing displacement of many of its working-class residents and also the erasure of the Latina/o history in the neighborhood.
Yet, the history and legacy of the PRC and Highland Park is pivotal to understanding the circulation of people and ideas between borders and generations across time and space. Next weekend, the Vicent Prize Art Museum at ELAC will inaugurate the exhibit “Regeneración: Three Generations of Revolutionary Ideology,” which examines how the term Regeneración has been used as a radical concept and call for action by Angelenos throughout history starting with the Mexican anarchist Flores Magón brothers and their Renegeración publication in the 1910s, the members of Chicano art collective ASCO and their journal also titled Regeneración, and in the 1990s the Centro Regeneración. So definitely include a visit to the exhibit in your schedule.
