This Week at LACMA

July 14, 2025

There are only a few more weeks to see Imagining Black Diasporas: 21st-Century Art and Poetics before it closes on July 27! Don't miss the exhibition's nearly 70 works of painting, sculpture, photography, works on paper, and time-based media organized into four themes (speech and silence, movement and transformation, imagination, and representation) and examining nearly a quarter century of production by Black artists.

Alongside the exhibition, on Sunday, July 20, filmmaker, educator, and ancestral ecologist Petna Ndaliko Katondolo will present Ejo-Lobi Storytelling: Ritualization through Image and Movement, featuring a series of short films from the Congo, a discussion, and an exclusive peek at one of his new films.
