Happy Valentine's Day 💘💝💕 Today we're thi Happy Valentine's Day 💘💝💕 Today we're thinking about Hannah Huntley's (@hannahlizhuntley) project "Sea Fauna Follies," a project LAND commissioned in 2025 at Bob Baker Marionette Theater (@bobbakermarionettes). ⁠ ⁠ The sea creatures in Hannah's installation speak to the transformative power of collective effort and symbiotic relationships. 🐠 May we all continue to lift up the important people in our lives, and show up for each other, in all the ways we can. ⁠ ⁠ Hannah Huntley's "Sea Fauna Follies" was made possible through a 2025 Mohn LAND Grant supported by Jarl and Pamela Mohn. ⁠ ⁠ Photos by @ginaclyne.

LAND has several site-specific projects on long-te LAND has several site-specific projects on long-term view across Los Angeles, include Anna Sew Hoy’s (@exclamationoir) “Psychic Body Grotto,” a room-sized bronze sculpture or “figurative gazebo.” Commissioned in 2017, the artwork is on view at the Los Angeles State Historic Park (@lastatehistoricpark), where it evokes the illusion of being organically generated from the earth. Here’s how you can visit “Psychic Body Grotto” in person, next time you’re near Chinatown. Learn more about all our current projects at the link in our bio.
Los Angeles Nomadic Division remains steadfast in Los Angeles Nomadic Division remains steadfast in our belief that all are welcome in this country. The recent, and ongoing, displays of power against immigrant and undocumented communities, and the people who support them, has no place here. LAND believes in the importance of gathering and showing up for one another, whether you’re supporting your neighbors or helping a stranger. We support Angelenos’ right to demonstrate and protest against recent events as part of a nationwide strike this Friday, January 30. We hope we can all keep showing up for one another, in whatever way feels accessible, in the days ahead. Photo by @ginaclyne. Graphic via @50501_socal.
Last year, we gathered at the Arlington Garden in Last year, we gathered at the Arlington Garden in Pasadena for “a lament (los angeles)” a performance by 2025 Mohn LAND grant recipient yétúndé ọlágbajú. Inspired by a facilitated slow reading of Octavia Butler’s “Parable of the Sower,” led by Dr. Tamisha Tyler (@tamisha_tyler) and the Center for Restorative Justice (@thecentercommunity), ọlágbajú has been examining the conceptual differences between lamentation and grief as vehicles for processing current events and the reverberating implications of exploitative capitalism. Commissioned by Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND), “a lament (los angeles)” builds on a previous performance, which took place at 500 Capp Street in San Francisco, with collaborators Titania Kumeh (@titaniaartmodel) and Nana Boateng. The performance created an open forum to express Queer, Black, and Indigenous collective lamentations and urgent calls for a new world. “a lament (los angeles)” was rooted by texts, songs, and prayers shared by the artist, collaborators, and community leaders: Helen Peña (@orange.mooon), Dr. Tamisha Tyler, Sonia Guiñansaca (@thesoniag), Tægen Meyers, Ashley Blakeney (@ladyblake23), Alexander Catanzarite, Kyla Carter (@_kylathecreator_), Astrid Kayembe, and Loveis Wise (@loveiswiseillu). “I’m just hopeful that this can be a space for us to gather and to witness each other in our grief,” yétúndé shared, in a new video by @hrdwrker capturing the process and final performance. Tap the link in our bio to watch more. “a lament” was commissioned by Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) and organized by Irina Gusin (@irina.gusin), LAND curator-at-large with support from Astrid Kayembe (@astrid.kayembe), LAND operations coordinator. This project was funded through the Mohn LAND Grants established by Pamela and Jarl Mohn. The initiative provides Los Angeles-based artists resources and support to present site-responsive, transdisciplinary work across Los Angeles County.
