UNZIPPED: An Autopsy of American Inequality
Center for Contemporary Arts 1050 Old Pecos Trail, Santa Fe, NM, United StatesUNZIPPED: An Autopsy of American Inequality focuses on one of America’s most iconic and income-divided zip codes, Venice, CA 90291. Once a mecca for artists, outsiders, and a thriving black community, Venice Beach is now a site of heated battles over gentrification, homelessness, and lack of affordable housing. Featuring moving, personal profiles of people struggling to remain in their neighborhood and a fight over a proposed homeless shelter, UNZIPPED challenges viewers’ assumptions and humanizes the lived experiences of people caught in the crossfire of a growing housing divide.
