The VP has long been a collaboration among friends and while some may ask: why a panorama of Shenyang in LA? The answer is: friendship! Despite the language barrier and over 5,900 miles (9,500 km) distance, the painters of Shengjing Panorama — Li Wu, Yan Yang and Zhou Fuxian — became friends with Sara Velas through the love of panoramas and historical architecture. If ever there were a place to "champion a panorama of friendship" in Los Angeles - this is it! ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS: Sara Velas is an artist, graphic designer, curator, gardener, and native Los Angeleno. She is the Artistic Director/Curator of the Velaslavasay Panorama, a nonprofit museum and garden she established in the year 2000 to present experimental immersive experiences and variations on pre-cinematic media. An avid architectural preservationist, Ms. Velas co-wrote the nomination which gave the USA’s first instance of cultural historic protection to a trailer park – the Monterey Trailer Park of Highland Park. Ruby Carlson is a Curator at the Velaslavasay Panorama and served as the elected Secretary of the International Panorama Council (2015-2018). She has worked in the field of panoramas since 2008 to elucidate, present and gather funding for panoramas and related mediums. She is a writer and cinematographer for media and fine art projects.
