“Southland Sessions” spoke with five different people about how they shifted the focus of their creative organization to keep afloat in 2020 and best serve their community. Beyond the big institutions in the city, these organizations seek to make a difference and uplift while filling the creative needs of the people around them, from teens to adults. The programming Lopez-Byrd hoped to have in-person has been put on hold, but another purpose emerged for the space. One of the organization’s board members started using the conference room for classes. Other people asked if they could drop in for meetings; college students also use the space. Lopez-Byrd says that TedxComptonBlvd will be using the space for their event as well.
