The Roaring Aughts’ First Shift featured a conversation about the
history of labor in Los Angeles led by L.A. author and historian
Michael Jacob Rochlin. After the round-table was the doll-making;
approximately 300 dolls were screen-printed and cut out by 15 workers
and overseen by three (3) managers.


The Roaring Aughts is an art installation/project named by nostalgia
and the now: the Great Depression (1929-1930s) and the present decade
(2000-2009). The project examines the contrasts of these two
significant periods in American history; making dolls is just as
important as making conversation. The goal is two-fold: to make
898,863 dolls (each of which represents a person in L.A. living below
the poverty line) and to prompt people to explore how the economy
impacts people.


There will be six Saturday-night shifts in total. Second Shift takes
place August 15. The discussion on labor will continue.
