"Reinventing the Américas: Construct. Erase. Repeat." (through Jan. 8, 2023)
Presented in English and Spanish, Reinventing the Américas analyzes representations of the Americas, questioning the mythologies and utopian visions that proliferated after the arrival of Europeans to the continent. Featuring artistic interventions by Denilson Baniwa, an Indigenous contemporary artist from the Amazon region of Brazil; and the voices of local community groups in Los Angeles, Reinventing the Américas counters the views of European chroniclers, illustrators, and printmakers from the 16th to 19th centuries by offering a multi-perspectival approach.
SKIRBALL CULTURAL CENTER"Fabric of a Nation" (Nov. 17, 2022 – March 12, 2023)

Fabric of a Nation: American Quilt Stories features works by more than 40 artists, including Harriet Powers, Bisa Butler, and Sanford Biggers.

"Together for Good" (Nov. 17, 2022 – March 12, 2023)
See Caron Tabb’s dramatic work Fabric of Humanity – Repairing My World alongside an all-ages community quilt-making activity. Measuring more than 12 x 9 feet, Tabb’s striking large-scale quilt was created in response to the ongoing pandemic and the associated feelings of hopelessness and isolation. The quilt is composed of materials collected from the artist’s friends and family around the world and assembled into one, cohesive piece.
With the assistance of professional community artisans and facilitators, the Skirball invites visitors to add their own artistry and stories to help co-create a new Skirball community quilt. As the Skirball’s quilt grows over the course of the exhibition, it will embody shared experiences, unique perspectives, and the intrinsic value of coming together.

Surrounding each billboard are dozens of small- and medium-sized sculptures.
