The finale group show to the landmark LA FUTURISM – Summer Series reimagines the legacy of Los Angeles’ art through a contemporary lens, centering Los Angeles-based artists whose work engages with futurism, street culture, and ancestral memory.
Borrowing the provocations of early 20th-century Futurism—its obsession with speed, technology, rupture, and youth—this exhibition reinterprets those ideals through a postcolonial framework. Instead of erasing the past, LA FUTURISM confronts it, remixing ancestral knowledge and lived experience into visions of a multicultural future.
Here we dive into larger questions, however one that will be specifically answered through a survey of Los Angeles artists. What is American? If not the very multicultural elements that it is made up of.
Including, a collaboration with AMBOS: Art Made Between Opposite Sides a femme-led binational artist collaborative that works along the U.S. Mexico border to build migrant support systems through craft, care, and mutual aid to advance pro-migrant narratives in the U.S. and Mexico.
