Cabinet of Wonder, Susan Narduli’s Senior Center public art, weaves personal and community history through images, object and texts.

The artwork is comprised of a perforated metal screen spanning the two-story Lobby Wall and exterior shade canopies. The reflective blue Lobby Wall holds shadow boxes and glass-printed photographs, treasured reflections of the City. On display are vintage records, treasured high school yearbooks, playing marbles and recipes. Images of Inglewood’s Rose Parade float, local cheerleaders and internationally recognized performers are displayed in the artwork. The large wall is backlit to reveal a map of southern California with Inglewood at the center.
