Artists’ Calendar Highlights Los Angeles’ Everyday Landmarks

Over the past four decades, Nib Geebles and Abira Ali have captured the overlooked details of Los Angeles through their unique calendar project. Their work, showcased in the “Unknown Landmarks” 2026 calendar, highlights urban decay and the charm of local establishments, ranging from Highland Park strip malls to Eagle Rock flower shops. Geebles and Ali’s collaboration began when they were teenagers, exchanging creative ideas through letters. Their calendars document the city’s changing landscape, often including whimsical made-up holidays and focusing on immigrant-owned businesses. By selling their calendars in local shops and supporting organizations like CHIRLA, the artists combine creativity with social consciousness, urging locals to appreciate their neighborhoods.
