Guadalupe Rosales is a collector. For an installation in art school, she built her version of a typical teenager’s bedroom, covering the walls with fliers she’d saved nearly 20 years earlier, when she lived in Boyle Heights, a Mexican-American enclave east of downtown Los Angeles. The fliers promoted parties organized by local party crews.
