AVE PILDAS BOOK SIGNING THIS SATURDAY, JULY 25TH 2026, FROM 4 UNTIL 6PM
Please join us at Arcana this Saturday, July 25th, from 4 until 6 PM for a signing with photographer Ave Pildas celebrating his new book. From the publisher: "Africatown offers an intimate and joyful portrait of one of Los Angeles’ most culturally rich weekly gatherings: the Sunday African Marketplace in Leimert Park. Built on friendship, trust, and community exchange, the project captures the people, stories, and spirit that make this space a living celebration of life. What began as a chance visit after a jazz benefit concert in the area quickly grew into a two-year journey of connection. Drawn by the radiant energy of the market, where vendors share traditional clothing art, food, and music from across the African diaspora, Ave became a familiar presence. Over time, he was affectionately nicknamed the 'picture man.'" (Pildas Green Foundation, 2026). Can't make it? Purchase a copy from us for shipping or pick-up here!
