Title A name given to the resource Back to Back: From Backyard to Boulevard Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stig De Block Description An account of the resource Back to Back: From Backyard to Boulevard shines a light on the lowrider culture of Los Angeles, CA. Originating in the mid 20th century, highly anticipated social events began to flourish on Whittier Boulevard in East L.A., where cars featuring extended bodies and low to the road are proudly put on display. Back to Back: From Backyard to Boulevard is the result of De Block's four-year journey back and forth to the slums of Los Angeles to visualize the lowrider culture that has fascinated him since childhood. As an outsider, he created intimate portraits of a community often associated with stereotypes and prejudices. “I can vividly remember the first lowrider event I attended in Los Angeles. I had driven out on a Sunday in October 2018 to attend an event called Sunday Funday. The concept is self-explanatory: Everybody comes together to have fun on Sunday, without any bullshit, with a common love for lowriders ... When I first showed up in the early afternoon, there weren’t many people out. But within one hour, the whole place was packed with barbecue vendors and people selling t-shirts and merchandise. I feel like there was 500 to 800 people there that day. And for me it was like ‘Wow, all the things that I’ve been interested in my whole life—L.A. culture, architecture, cars and rap music — all come together in one place here’ ... Back to Back: From Backyard to Boulevard represents the process of starting on your first car in your backyard, then bringing it to a body shop, where it will spend months being customized, to when you show it on the boulevard and share its beauty with family and friends ... I pursue Back to Back to celebrate the lowrider as a muse and to accurately represent the people behind it”.
