Come celebrate the opening of The Iridescence of Knowing!
The Iridescence of Knowing invites visitors to explore the rich lineage of Indigenous cultural production in Tovaangar, known today as the greater Los Angeles basin. The exhibition brings together a collection of works from diverse artists from multiple generations and varied First Peoples communities of Southern California. The works challenge conventional boundaries between "craft" and "fine art”, uplifting intergenerational transmission of culture, the significance of lineage, and the profound connections between cultural tradition and contemporary artistic practices.
This exhibition is curated by Joel Garcia, Fall 2023 Curator-in-Residence, and Mercedes Dorame, 2023-24 Wanlass Artist-in-Residence.
Exhibiting artists include: Weshoyot Alvitre, Theresa Ambo, Jessa Calderon, Gerald Clarke, Lewis deSoto, Robert Dorame, Katie Dorame, River Garza, Sky Hopinka, Adrienne Kinsella, James Luna, L. Frank Manriquez, Leah Mata Fragua, Samantha Morales-Johnson, Cara Romero, and Craig Torres.
Event location: OXY ARTS - 4757 York Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90042.
