A conversation I did with Footlocker who asked me what “Unidad” meant for me and my work. I spoke about the archive project and how it all manifested. Here is my voice, it is empowering for me to share these words with you all. For me, archives are for the future, and our future and voices will not be silenced.

Next is Los Angeles, where Guadalupe Rosales discusses her Map Pointz project, an online archive that shares images and footage of ‘90s party crews, raves, and warehouse parties. Now also a book titled Map Pointz – A Collective Memory, her project offers a crucial Latino perspective to LA’s party scene. Finally, FreshJive founder and designer Rick Klotz waxes poetic about his days designing rave flyers on an Apple Macintosh.
Guadalupe Rosales of Veteranas and Rucas featured in "LA: CARS + MUSIC".
"LA: CARS + MUSIC" is a short documentary that gives a front seat ride with some of the most influential figures shaping Los Angeles’s world-renowned car scene. Going beyond pinstripes and engines, this piece highlights the role music plays in cultivating these various sub-cultures that are breaking racial and gender barriers.
Directed by Van Alpert with guidance from Estevan Oriol, “LA: CARS + MUSIC” was created in advance of 'Ryoji Ikeda – A [for 100 Cars]' event as part of Red Bull Music Academy Festival Los Angeles. This event aims to unite various auto owners and some of the greatest car sound systems that LA has to offer to create the world’s largest synth orchestra.
