Empowerment: Edith + Etta / Etta James Documentary with Talk Backs
The City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) Performing Arts Divisions (PERF) EMPOWERMENT project returns for its third year. As a celebration of California women who shift culture, EMPOWERMENT is a six day festival-style week of performances, social action, creative workshops, and documentary screenings.
In 2025, EMPOWERMENT will honor the work of Academy Award winner Edith Head and Grammy Award winner Etta James. Both American born and rooted professionally in Los Angeles, Edith Head is considered to be one of the greatest and most influential costume designers in the film industry while Etta James is an American singer songwriter famous for her deep and earthy voice bridging the gap between rhythm and blues and rock and roll is considered to be one of the greatest voices of her century.
Join us as we take a deeper look into the lives and careers of women artists who have impacted and redefined the human experience through documentary style film and live guest speakers:
Etta James: Saturday, May 3 at 12:30 p.m. Edith Head: Sunday, May 4 at 2:00 p.m.
