Artist Event

Lincoln Heights Youth Arts Center is honored to host textile artist Vero Mendoza from Oaxaca, Mexico with Coyotl + Machehualli. As part of a larger series of workshops throughout California, she will be offering our community the opportunity to learn ancient techniques of washing, carding, and dyeing wool with natural ingredients. This is a free workshop and we will also be providing free lunch to workshop participants. You will also have the opportunity to purchase textiles or make donations to support Vero’s dream of reopening her late mother’s workshop and continuing to honor her memory in Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico.

Creating in Community: Fowler at 60 celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of the Fowler Museum at UCLA. As we look back at the research, exhibitions, and public programs of the past sixty years, we recognize that the most joyful and interesting projects have been those created with others. Through these collaborations fresh ideas bloomed, unforeseen challenges and expectations arose, and new connections were forged. Come revisit these extraordinary projects with us, as we bring this spirit of engagement into the future by working with partners to use our building and collections in ever more experimental ways.

Drawing from her training in theater and the psychology of group dynamics, New York–based artist Autumn Knight makes performances that reshape perceptions of race, gender, and authority. Drawing from her NOTHING#31 series—an investigation into the Italian concept of “dolce far niente,” the sweetness of doing nothing—Knight performs two works at REDCAT.

Presented on Thursday, March 15 and Friday, March 16, part one, a bar, is a social experiment transforming the theater space into a host club in which, guided by Knight, the audiences undertake the task of creating the optimal conditions for temporary but meaningful companionship, desire, and connection with their fellow audience members.

Presented on Sunday, March 17, part two, A BLUFF, is just that. Using her training as an improviser and the inexhaustible possibilities each audience member brings, Knight alone on stage responds improvisationally to the space, its architecture, its audience, pointedly launching from the potentiality—both the sweetness and desolation—of nothingness.

Please note: NOTHING#31: a bar contains mature content.
