S1 E1 - Mercedes Dorame: Through the Portal with Dr. Wendy Teeter LACMA × Snapchat: The Monumental Perspectives Podcast

Mercedes Dorame reclaims connection to the land and ancestral knowledge by exploring what it means to exist as a Native inhabitant of contemporary Tovaangar (Los Angeles). Inspired by her augmented reality monument Portal for Tovaangar, Mercedes Dorame speaks with Dr. Wendy Teeter, Head Curator of Archaeology & Lecturer at the UCLA Fowler Museum, to peel back some of the concrete landscape in Los Angeles and get a view of the history and context that lie just beneath our feet.
The Monumental Perspectives Podcast further explores the augmented reality monuments created through the LACMA × Snapchat: Monumental Perspectives initiative. This episode is hosted by artist Mercedes Dorame with guest Dr. Wendy Teeter, Head Curator of Archaeology & Lecturer at the UCLA Fowler Museum.
