LACE is proud to be a platform for emerging curato

LACE is proud to be a platform for emerging curators, supporting the next generation of artists and voices. This year, we engaged in film and moving image projects through our Emerging Curator Program and the LACE Screening Series.

Our Emerging Curator presentation, “A Fossil, A Ruin, A Memory” curated by Carrie Chen (@carriechen01), featured artists whose work considerd the lanaguage of memory, navigate transnational spaces, confront displacement and yearning, and excavate personal and collective memories. Featured artists include Zeynep Abes (@zabes93), Coffee Kang (@coffeeekang), Heesoo Kwon 권희수 (@leymusoom), April Lin 林 (@babe__lin), Jas Lin 林思穎, Yuchi Ma 马语迟 (@streetcornyuchi), Iman Person (@imanperson_studio), Tiare Ribeaux (@tiareribeaux), Ainslee Alem Robson (@ahhslay), somuhwa (@somuhwa.ai), Qigemu 七个木, Yaloo (@yalooreality), Qianqian Ye (@44ian), and Evelyn Hang Yin (@haannngggg).

In addition, we launched the LACE Screening Room, presenting film programs like “The Whore Gaze,” curated by Elizabeth Dayton and Kim Ye (@kimyekimyekimye); “BLAQUE ORBIT” curated by Camm Harrison (@blackrevivalist); and “Radical Botany” curated by Anya Ventura (@aventuraaaaaaaaaa).

Your year-end contribution enables us to foster artists who innovate, explore, and risk. Link in bio to make a gift today.

Thank you for supporting “Beatriz da Costa: (un)

Thank you for supporting “Beatriz da Costa: (un)disciplinary tactics” by visiting the exhibition, attending our public programs, and engaging with the publication! Your support highlights the ongoing importance of da Costa’s visionary work, which uses research and art-making to address technoscience alongside ancient and non-academic forms of knowledge.

There’s less than a month left to see the exhibtion! Don’t miss this chance to explore da Costa’s deep reflections on life, chronic illness, sociopolitical autonomy, and interspecies collaboration.

Plan your visit at @lamagbarnsdall before the exhibition closes on Sunday, January 5, 2025.

In April, we premiered “ABUNDANCE,” a multiday performance art series that presented cutting edge performance art and interdisciplinary work by artists whose lived experiences as non-traditional or fat bodies challenge intersectional forms of oppression.

This year, we continued to champion and challenge

This year, we continued to champion and challenge the art of our time through groundbreaking performances like “La Cantadora Shamana de Cabaret” and “ABUNDANCE.”

On Valentine’s Day, we premiered “La Cantadora Shamana de Cabaret” by Carmina Escobar (@carminaescobar). In this performative ritual—part opera, part incantation, and part comedic examination—Carmina examined her life as an “erotic export”—a woman-creature, bird-spirit, in whose veins boils the antagonist sex of oppressor and oppressed, a product of the the mestizo heritage.

In the spring, we presented “ABUNDANCE,” a performance art series featuring artists whose lived experiences as non-traditional or fat bodies challenge intersectional forms of oppression. Partipating artists included Patrisse Cullors (@osopepatrisse) with Ashley Blakeney and Darius Williams (@1dariuswilliams), Edgar Fabián Frías (@edgarfabianfrias), GayCay (@gay.cay), Jessica Carolina González (@jcg.studio), Vanessa Hernández Cruz (@galaxiesdance), Alima Lee (@alima_lee), Caleb Luna (@dr_chairbreaker), Melba Martínez (@frutamala), Cody Perkins (@codyofthealgos__) with Sabrina Johnson, Ghis Rodríguez (@ghisrodriguezart), Yesika Salgado (@yesikastarr), and Dorian Wood (@dorianwoodmusic).

Your support allows us to continue presenting innovative art that focuses on freedom of expression; experimentation with ideas, materials, and new forms; and content that is challenging and socially engaging.
