We’re thrilled to announce the opening of the PST ART: Art & Science Collide exhibition, Beatriz da Costa: (un)disciplinary tactics on Saturday, September 7, 2024, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Presented by Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions LACE at the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, this exhibition revisits the collaborative artistic practice of the late Beatriz da Costa (1974–2012) as an investigation into technoscientific experimentation, politics, activism, and art-making, contextualized for our contemporary moment. Curated by LACE’s former Chief Curator/Director of Programs Daniela Lieja Quintanar with Ana Briz, the project weaves together an exhibition, public programming, performances, educational workshops, and study groups as an evocation of da Costa’s approach to the intersections of ancient and non-academic forms of knowledge. This exhibition is complemented by a publication surveying da Costa’s entire artistic career with curatorial essays, reflections from previous collaborators including Donna Harraway and Robert F. Nideffer, and more. The catalog is the most extensive analysis of da Costa’s practice to date, and is distributed by MIT Press. Southern California’s landmark arts event, PST ART, returns in September 2024, presenting more than 70 exhibitions from organizations across the region exploring the intersections of art and science, both past and present. PST ART is presented by Getty. For more information about PST ART: Art & Science Collide, please visit pst.art.

Justice in our Barrios, Paz al Mundo: A Moratorium on War and Carrying the Legacy Forward, the inaugural exhibition of the Lincoln Heights Youth Arts Center (LHYAC). The exhibition features the personal archive of Rosalio Muñoz, peace activist, social justice organizer, youth mentor with roots in Lincoln Heights and Highland Park, and a Co-Founder of the Chicano Moratorium. Muñoz life’s work underscores the importance of asking ourselves how we can continue building people power and agency and that, together, we can bring about the changes needed in our world today. The exhibition is the culmination of a nine-week summer youth internship that the Center recognized as the Summer 2024 Youth Leaders.

The opening reception of Justice in our Barrios, Paz al Mundo: A Moratorium on War and Carrying the Legacy Forward takes place on Saturday, September 21, 2024, from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. The event will be held at El Pueblo de Lincoln Heights Art Gallery at Lincoln Heights Youth Arts Center, located at 2911 Altura Street, Los Angeles, CA 90031. The opening reception and gallery are free and open for all to attend.

Rosalio Muñoz’s knowledge, lived experience, and personal archive ephemera including photographs, newspaper and magazine articles, campaign materials, artworks, and government documents provide the cornerstone from which this exhibition chronicles the historiography of the growing presence and empowerment of Mexican American people starting in the 1920s. Justice in our Barrios emphasizes the Chicano Moratorium’s multigenerational, intercultural, and national grassroots mobilization efforts whose anti-war 2 mission played a critical role in bringing an end to the Vietnam War. Further, it highlights the Chicano Movement’s priorities and accomplishments that took shape and continued after the post-war era towards creating an improved quality of life for all people, particularly the poor and undocumented in Los Angeles.

In addition to the historical timeline, the exhibition showcases contemporary works of art including painting, drawing, photography, and mixed media, that embody peace, justice, and solidarity. The contemporary collection is of emerging and established artists, from LHYAC visual art students to renowned artivists, exemplifying the vibrant spirit and rich history of Los Angeles’s Chicanx resilience and resistance, and reflect the Chicano Movement’s legacy and relevance to the global conflicts of today. Artworks were selected from an Open Call for Art and carefully chosen by the Youth Leaders themselves.

Featured artists include Rafael Cardenas, Colorsoner, Dare to Struggle, Hailey Deniz, Emma Deniz, Jennaya Dunlap, Paz Fernandez, Mina Ho Ferrante, Yulu Fuentes, Bobby Gordon, Kalli Arte Collective, Lilia “Liliflor” Ramirez, Pola Lopez, Tatiana Luboviski-Acosta commissioned by Coyotl + Macehualli, Arturo Meza II, Andrea “Mextica” Ramirez, Josiah O’ Balles, Dara Oum, Sol Itzel Ramirez, Melanny Rivera & Brenda Ceja, Re:sister, Joanna S., and Miki Yokoyama.

The contemporary artworks will be on display until December 14, 2024, and the historical collection will continue through February 2025. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Information on public programming is forthcoming.

WICKED, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle.  Long before Dorothy arrives, another young woman is born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets an exceptionally popular bubbly blonde, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other “wicked.”

Sunday 1:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
