Betalevel
Part studio, part club, part stage, and part screen, Betalevel was located in a basement in Chinatown, Los Angeles, and played host to various media events such as screenings, performances, classes, lectures, debates, dances, readings, and tournaments. Its members were artists, programmers, writers, musicians, designers, agit-propers, filmmakers, and reverse-engineers.

FREE CULTURE
From its opening in 2005 until its final programs in 2026, Betalevel was host to hundreds of events — all free and open to the public. As one of the members since shortly after its founding, I organized many of those events, helped handle behind-the-scenes logistics, and often acted as the unofficial documentarian, photographing and, lately, video-recording performances.
It would be difficult to give a full account of all the nights of lectures, readings, screenings, music performances, and so forth in which I’ve been involved. But a couple notable series I’ve co-hosted are our Bollywood film nights and Swap Meet, our long-running celebration of the cultural commons.
