Loss, Life, & Love

Start: Thursday, September 22, 2022 12:00PM
End: Saturday, September 24, 2022 6:00PM

Reimagine, in partnership with leaders from the historic Leimert Park neighborhood in South Los Angeles, presents Loss, Life & Love, a three-day festival that will support attendees in exploring mortality, grieving loss, and celebrating strength.

From Thursday, September 22 through Saturday, September 24, 2022, in-person and virtual events—at locations like Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center, the World Stage Performance Gallery, and Leimert Plaza Park—will draw on the arts, healthcare, and spirituality to shine a light on taboo conversations often hidden in the shadows.

Neighborhood luminaries are eager to destigmatize public dialogue on what it means to process loss; they include Kaya Dantzler of We Love Leimert, author and wellness coach Angela Jackson, and Ben Caldwell of KAOS Network, who is affectionately considered the “mayor” of Leimert Park. This community celebration aims to help participants integrate the hardest parts of life in healthy, impactful, and expansive ways. 

Festival is donation based.
