Los Angeles Nomadic Division
This Saturday, June 21, we will gather at the Expo This Saturday, June 21, we will gather at the Exposition Park Rose Garden at 11AM for a closing celebration of Lizette Hernández’s “LAND DREAMS.” A 2024 Mohn LAND grantee, Hernández will reflect on the sculptures and the significance of the location to her art practice. Peter Haas will join the artist to speak about the history of the garden, and what rose varietals visitors may encounter there. For this project, Hernández invited workshop participants to create small objects that imagined positive visions of possible futures and “new ways of living.” These works are incorporated within seven sculptures by Lizette, all created to be in dialogue with the park’s roses and historic fountain. We hope this gathering will be a welcome respite for those who need it, and feel comfortable attending. Attendance is free with RSVP at the link in our bio. “LAND DREAMS” is commissioned by Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) and organized by @bryan.barcena and @irina.gusin, LAND curators-at-large.

LA is our home.  All of the work that LAND does LA is our home.  All of the work that LAND does aims to connect people and places through art. NONE OF THIS would be possible without the many immigrant and undocumented communities in Los Angeles.  The actions taken by the current administration to instill fear and division, and limit individual and artistic freedoms, is abhorrent. But Los Angeles is strong and united.  Los Angeles Nomadic Division is driven by a deep sense of purpose. The word “Division” in our name highlights that we are part of a larger whole—the sprawling city of Los Angeles and all its intersecting communities. To our friends in LA and beyond: Keep showing up, keep resisting, keep protecting one another. For those that are able, please support the local organizations that are supporting those most impacted. Here are some of the organizations we’ve been looking to for resources and ways to help: @groundgamela @iris_welcomes @icwclaw @carecen_la @chirla_org Image: An artwork by Felix Quintana (@felixfquintana) as part of “fantasma paraiso / phantom paradise,” first installed in 2024 at Plaza Mexico.

Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) and the Gabrie Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) and the Gabrielino-Tongva Springs Foundation are thrilled to present “Endless Wellspring,” a series of free public programs this summer at Kuruvungna Village Springs celebrating Tongva art and culture. Meaning “a place where we are in the sun,” Kuruvungna is the site of a natural spring and an ancestral Tongva village in Tovaangar, present-day Los Angeles. Stewarded by the Gabrielino-Tongva Springs Foundation, the two-acre site features ponds, gardens, and a cultural center. Organized by artist Mercedes Dorame (@mercedes.dorame) and Christopher Mangum-James (@notmagnum), LAND’s deputy director, “Endless Wellspring” is centered around the theme of regeneration, bringing together Native artists and educators to engage with the natural elements and ongoing life and history of Kuruvungna. From hands-on art making workshops to a special music performance, and guided garden tours, we look forward to seeing you at the Springs this summer. For the first event in the series, join us on Saturday, June 28, from 11AM – 12PM for a special walkthrough on the history of Kuruvungna led by Angie Behrns, founder of the Gabrielino-Tongva Springs Foundation, with Mercedes Dorame. Details on all “Endless Wellspring” programs can be found on LAND’s website. Link in bio. This series is made possible in part by the LA County Department of Arts and Culture (@lacountyarts) as part of Creative Recovery LA, an initiative funded by the American Rescue Plan. Generous support provided by Art of Recovery, an initiative of the City of Santa Monica Cultural Affairs (@cityofsantamonica), and the West Los Angeles Sawtelle Neighborhood Council (@westlasawtellenc) through a Neighborhood Purpose Grant. Special thanks to Walton Chiu. Graphic by @peasforeveryone.
