On June 28th, July 19th, and August 23rd we collaborated to stitch and join colorful granny squares, forming a unique panel that celebrates the diverse perspectives in Los Angeles. The panel is displayed as an evolving community installation to be finalized in time for the Autry's Annual Summer Block Party.

Yarn Bombing Los Angeles facilitated a series of hands-on, drop-in workshops focused mostly on stitching, crocheting and knittiing while exploring how we see and experience Los Angeles.
Over three Sunday afternoons, visitors were invited to contribute to a collaborative fiber art installation inspired by the exhibition Life, Liberty, and Los Angeles. Each session offered a simple, accessible making activity—no prior experience needed—using yarn and other materials to reflect on the city’s landscapes, rhythms, and communities.
Some participants joined us for one workshop and returned for all three. Each contribution became part of a larger, evolving artwork that is installed on the museum’s mezzanine iin advance ot the Autry's Annual Block Party in September.
These workshops were designed as a space to pause, make, and connect—using a familiar creative process to expand observation, conversation, and shared experience.
Collaborators:
Autry Members and Staff, Brittney Austin, Renaissance Austin, October Crifasi, Dolores Gamino, Marjorie Grace-Sayers, Becky Goodman, Carla Juarez, Whitney Klein, Surena Marie, Nicole Mork, Lauri Mraz, David Orozco*, Sarah Todd, Darlyn Susan Yee*
