Ashes & Echoes Exhibit
2026-01-31 13:00 - 20:00, 2026-02-01 10:00 - 17:00, 2026-02-02 14:00 - 20:00, 2026-02-03 14:00 - 20:00 | Pasadena Convention Center, 300 E Green St, Pasadena, California, 91101, United States
The Eaton Fire and its aftermath is a tragedy unlike anything the San Gabriel Valley and its foothill communities has ever experienced. Ashes & Echoes ensures that the stories of those who lived through, and are recovering from it, are not lost.

Through interviews, residents, business owners, and community members share what they remember, what they lost, and what it has meant to rebuild. These stories, captured in digital video, come together to form a powerful collective portrait of grief, resilience, hope, and strength.

These stories will be highlighted through video presentations and art installations at an immersive, multimedia exhibit, physically interpreting the themes of Ashes & Echoes.

Together, these elements create a space where visitors can experience survivors’ histories, not just by listening, but by moving through, reflecting on, and connecting with them in a deeper way.

This exhibit is free and open to the public.
