KCHUNG PUBLIC Residency Launch
Featuring a live performance by CAMINA, an interactive discussion with Revolutionary Autonomous Communities LA and Mutual Aid Action Los Angeles, and sets from KCHUNG DJs, La Cosecha Internacional and Zuri Adia.
Self-governed and operated on a shoestring budget, KCHUNG Radio was formed in 2011 as an open forum of artists, musicians, writers, and philosophers. Broadcasting live on 1630 AM from a studio-in-the-sky above a pho restaurant in Los Angeles’ Chinatown, KCHUNG Radio stands apart from other local LA-based stations in its programmatically evolving nature: currently broadcasting over 40 hours weekly of original & uncensored content. With the intention to platform traditionally underrepresented voices, there are talk shows, art reviews, interviews with psychics, scientists, plant life, and ghosts, live music, dressing room gossip, surrealist meditation lessons, advice panels, and unscripted gestures of an economic or performative nature. Functioning as a framework for the expression of local artists as individual contributors, the station is an open portal, accessible to any and all interested parties. It celebrates and promotes the efforts of the dedicated amateur while remaining an autonomous entity for collective expression.
CAMINA is the solo project of Los Angeles-based musician Ariel Saldivar. CAMINA draws on various genres including electronic music, trip hop, lo-fi R&B, and avant-garde. Inspired by her Mexican heritage, eclectic upbringing, and recent travels, including an ongoing sabbatical in the New Mexico mountains, CAMÍNA is the culmination of Los Angeles-based musician Ariel Saldivar’s life. “Camina,” means “walk,” and her music dreamily wanders through personal narratives about love and loss, ruminations on current events, and finding strength in the face of adversity.
A grassroots community organization located on indigenous Tongva land now known as Los Angeles, Revolutionary Autonomous Communities Los Angeles builds autonomous resistance to capitalism and poverty through mutual aid. Working to further engage communities outside of government entities, nonprofits, or mainstream political parties, RACLA has been fighting for over 15 years for healing towards a better world by building community in a center of trauma and economic warfare and growing access to the basic human necessities. RACLA has worked to create examples of mutual aid that are rooted in action guided by urgency and responsibility to the most affected in our immediate community and beyond. Through Survival-Live Better programs, RACLA has created glimpses into a better world we can all fight/work/live to make possible. RACLA is generationally inclusive of women, queer, trans, poor, people who are differently abled, and all others whose existence has been challenged or denied by structural violence.
Mutual Aid Action Los Angeles, (M.A.A.L.A.) is a community funded agency working to end poverty and inequality through mutual aid practices. M.A.A.L.A facilitates and provides a space for a culture of mutual-aid to provide food, clothing, a bathroom, other household items and essentials. M.A.A.L.A relies on community support to keep the doors open and continue to do the necessary work to make sure resources and opportunities are available for our communities. Believing actions speak louder than words, M.A.A.L.A has built a network of support, committed to fighting the root causes of poverty while also addressing the urgent needs in our community. By taking communal action towards meeting such needs, M.A.A.L.A is a place where people can come together and interact beyond and against the systems that keep them separated and subjugated. Together M.A.A.L.A turns a little into abundance and continues to heal and build a healthier community and a healthier world. M.A.A.L.A provides a wide range of vital services and support to anyone who comes through their doors and beyond, practicing Mutual Aid to live their solidarity. Food security is suicide prevention! Poverty is violence! Act now for equity and peace!
Inspired by Quinceñera parties in the hills of Mexico and beyond and rooted in partying as a form of immigrant resistance. La Cosecha was started by XOLO. Playing all Spanish, all vinyl norteñas, corridos, rancheras, cumbia, and banda classics, XOLO's aim is to bring this music to a new audience.
Intuitive seeer and DJ, Zuri Adia, channels the universe into rhythms and tones from the cosmos to the CDJS. With influences ranging from Alternative Indie Rock to Ballroom and House music, her divine eclectic mixes are influenced by her South Central Los Angeles upbringing and her Afro-Chicanx and Caribbean Jamaican roots. Adia’s DJ sets and mixes have been featured on NTS, Dublab, Lightning in a Bottle Festival, MoMA PS1, Hammer Museum, and The Underground Museum. Her new project La Neca is set to begin recording in 2022.
