San Fernando Valley Swap-meet Soundscapes
Project type
Public Scholarship, Soundscapes
Culture is all around us, and I invite you to join me on a soundscape journey through the swap meets of the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles. These informal markets, often seen as just places to find bargains, actually bring together diverse communities—black, brown, immigrant, and working-class—seeking unique and everyday items. Growing up in the San Fernando Valley and visiting these swap meets with my mother, I developed a deep appreciation for how these markets not only sell goods but also reflect and sustain immigrant culture.
