Communal Tables

The Watts Towers were created by artist Sabato Rodia. The Watts Towers Common Ground Initiative supports the towers as a cultural landmark. They are honoring the towers and the initiative with a festival: The St. Joseph's Communal Tables on March 18-20. "These tables both commemorate a time when diaspora Italians represented a community in need, and, as a springtime recurrence, they also celebrate abundance." Luisa del Guidice is organizing the event. More about the Catholic tradition of St. Joseph's tables here.
