This Week at LACMA

June 8, 2025

Imagining Black Diasporas: 21st-Century Art and Poetics finds aesthetic connections among 60 artists working in Africa, Europe, and the Americas. Nearly 70 works of painting, sculpture, photography, works on paper, and time-based media are organized into four themes: speech and silence; movement and transformation; imagination; and representation. Explore the exhibition this week.

On June 26, 27, and 28, acclaimed composer, bandleader, and saxophonist Kamasi Washington will lead an unforgettable trio of performances inside LACMA's new David Geffen Galleries. The final round of tickets will be released this Thursday, June 12, at 10 am PT. To be among the first to step inside LACMA's newest landmark and experience this once-in-a-lifetime event, secure your spot on our website.
