More About

"What social, political, economic and historical forces made [Los Angeles] and its cultural scene flourish?" Zocalo Public Square asks in this half-day conference, a complement to Pacific Standard Time. "How Los Angeles Invented the World" dissects how and why the world at large has lapped up culture – from home-grown musical acts like the Beach Boys to less-than-realistic cinematic portrayals of the City of Angels — from a city the world also claims is bereft of culture. A number of talking heads will explain just how Los Angeles came to represent America at large in music, books, film and art — most likely going beyond Die Hard, Blade Runner, Beck and Bukowski.
