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.

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.

Join us on Saturday, December 14 from 11 AM–12:3

Join us on Saturday, December 14 from 11 AM–12:30 PM at LAMAG for “The Life Garden: Gardening Workshop,” part of our PST ART exhibition, “Beatriz da Costa: (un)disciplinary tactics.”

This workshop focuses on “The Life Garden,” an indoor medicinal garden, featuring herbs and plants known to support people living with cancer. Taylor “The Plant Plug” Lindsey will share their expertise, offering practical tips for building and maintaining your own garden at home. With support from botanist Aleen Vartivarian (@aleenvartivarian), participants will also learn about the health benefits of anti-cancer nutrition.

🔗 Link to RSVP in bio.
