A community-built exhibition documenting Black cultural memory in Altadena opened last week at the Bob Lucas Memorial Library, and offers local residents a chance to mark places lost and remembered after the Eaton Fire. Created by UCLA’s cityLAB and fire-displaced residents, the cardboard installation uses participatory mapping to let locals — not institutions — decide what will be remembered after the disaster. What began as a healing circle at the Altadena Senior Summit in April evolved into a living archive as residents returned multiple times to share stories and mark locations tied to family, community and everyday life. Yang Yang, co-director of cityLAB, said the project was inspired by 1960s Open Housing Covenants in Altadena, when neighbors publicly mapped their welcome to Black families during segregation.
