More information and a description of the event from the Armory Center's website is below:

Parlor at the Armory is a multi-artist residency organized by the Women's Center for Creative Work (WCCW). Founded by designer Kate Johnston and producer Sarah Williams, WCCW is a network of Los Angeles-based women engaged in conversations about contemporary feminisms and creative practices. WCCW will be in residence at the Armory through January 2016, mounting an exhibition and related events in the Armory's Mezzanine Galleries. This process-based residency will take the form of a parlor work-center, occupied by ten WCCW residents over the course of the program. A riso-printed broadsheet publication delineating the residency participants and projects will be created and distributed in the area. 

WCCW's Johnston and Williams starts the residency by installing a worktable, calendar, and some simple shelves to serve as sites for the production of a daily practice. Nine additional residents will then spend a week working in this public space, layering it with their own materials and work. The process materials from each residency will accumulate on the walls and in the space as a collaged archive—the remnants of each residency building on the last. Each week-long residency culminates in a workshop, lecture, performance, screening or other public program led by the resident.

Pink and black ink on tan paper.
