SUMMAEVERYTHANG

I began Summaeverythang as a space to support and sustain all sorts of intelligence in the hood—from academic to intellectual. Summaeverythang. Capoiera, tutoring, artmaking, film programs, gardening, field trips, etc…

I was looking forward to opening Summaeverythang—located next door to my studio—in late summer/fall, but Corona stopped that. So, I started thinking of ways to engage the ideologies and thesis of the community center with the community, outside of the physical space. — Lauren Halsey

SUMMAEVERYTHANG is a community center based in South Central Los Angeles dedicated to the empowerment and transcendence of black and brown folks socio-politically and economically, intellectually and artistically. Since its founding in March 2020, Summaeverythang has donated over 1,000 fresh, organic produce boxes to the city’s communities.

Please donate and support.
