Expo Wilderness Park encourages the coexistence of nature and people, reintroducing native habitats and embracing ecological wildness. Moving away from rigid, artificial aesthetics, the park uses wild planting strategies as a symbol of ecological and queer resilience throughout time. At the heart of this transformation is an AIDS memorial landscape, a living tribute that commemorates lives lost while addressing the intersection of queer history and environmental exploitation. This inclusive park offers spaces for reflection, healing, affirmation, and memory, fostering a deeper connection to both nature and community in the heart of Los Angeles.
