"Phung Huynh: Sobrevivir" (through Feb. 18, 2023)Phung Huynh: Sobrevivir activates the Vincent Price Art Museum as a convening space for intergenerational dialogue about reproductive justice and community healing. Original artworks and design renderings tell the story of the Sobrevivir monument’s fabrication, while an ongoing series of patchwork quilts created by artists, advocates, and supporters engages with the history of forced sterilization on a personal and collective level. Additional programming developed with reproductive justice advocates will examine this traumatic history and its repercussions in communities of color today.
"Librería Donceles" (through Feb. 18, 2023)
Artist and educator Pablo Helguera created Librería Donceles out of a desire to address the lack of bookstores that serve the growing Hispanic and Latinx communities in the United States. Part functioning bookstore and part participatory installation, Librería Donceles provides space for the community to engage with Spanish language-specific books and multilingual programming designed to encourage cultural understanding, tolerance, and social activism.
"New Voices" (Nov. 5, 2022 - Jan. 21, 2023)
New Voices: The 2022 District Wide Juried Student Art Exhibition highlights exceptional artworks produced in diverse media across numerous instructional departments. For the first time in sixty years, the exhibition will feature not only the work from East Los Angeles College students, but from all nine colleges within the Los Angeles Community College District.
The public is invited to view the exhibition for free via appointment on Eventbrite. Guided exhibition tours will be available on Saturdays in October during Día de los Muertos workshops, at 12:30pm and 2pm.
"Dress Codes" (ongoing)
Dress Codes is organized around six enduring icons of Western style: blue jeans, plaid shirt, fringed jacket, aloha shirt, China Poblana dress, and the cowboy boot. More than 150 objects are on display - drawn primarily from the Autry's extensive clothing and textile collection, as well as art, photography, and historical artifacts. In addition, Dress Codes includes loans from the Levi Strauss & Company Archives, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Harry S. Truman National Historic Site, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, and private lenders.
"The Silent West" (ongoing)
Featuring highlights of American West–themed posters from the silent film era, The Silent West shows the wide range of the industry prior to “talkies” and the consolidation of the studio system. The posters showcase a stunning art form in a remarkable era of commercial lithography. This small exhibition also reveals the cinematic West of the 1910s and '20s to be quite modern, engaging topics still relevant to the real West. Although a large number of silent films are sadly lost, the posters reflect film artists and entrepreneurs experimenting with a new medium. Women and people of color served as writers, directors, stunt performers, and other creative roles in greater numbers than in later movies.
Subliminal Projects presents MUCHO, by Mexican-American visual artist and fashion designer Sofia Enriquez. The exhibition showcases the breadth of Enriquez’s practice including fine art, sculpture, bespoke hand-made installations, and clothing. In partnership with Obey Clothing and in conjunction with the opening of the exhibition, the artist will release a new limited T-shirt and a series of select hand-painted items from the Obey Clothing line, displayed in a pop-up MUCHO X OBEY shop within the exhibition.
Enriquez’s work investigates her intercultural identity through the use of vibrant distinct symbolism, creating an autobiographical legend that weaves themes of Mexican-catholic iconography, indigenous homage, Spanglish text, modern pop-culture references, and feminine strength.
