Wildfire destroyed a historically Black town. These artists won’t let its legacy disappear

As Altadena prepares to rebuild after the devastation of the LA fires, an exhibition centers its creative history

On the walls of the gallery, Keni Arts" Davis's watercolors show Altadena before and after the fires. There is a local hardware store, a beloved diner, the quirky local Bunny Museum, which held tens of thousands of rabbit-related items.

Then, in gentle strokes of paint, there is the wreckage of each place: rubble, charred beams, burnt-out cars. Davis labels each of these images BFA", beauty from ashes.
