Confronting Colonial Histories: A Dialogue Through Art

©lacma

In a world where history is often written by the victors, it's essential to seek alternative narratives, especially when it comes to colonial histories. As part of LACMA's new exhibition, "The World Made Wondrous," a thought-provoking discussion awaits those ready to explore the complexities of our shared past.

On Tuesday, October 10, we invite you to join us for a dynamic discussion featuring two remarkable artists, Sithabile Mlotshwa and Umar Rashid. Together, they will lead us on a journey through their artistic practices, which serve as powerful tools for critically reconsidering colonial histories.

But that's not all. As attendees of this enlightening discussion, you will also enjoy exclusive after-hours access to "The World Made Wondrous" exhibition from 6:30 to 9 pm. It's an opportunity to immerse yourself in a world where art becomes a lens through which we view our past and reimagine our future.

We believe that dialogue and art have the power to reshape our understanding of history. To be a part of this transformative experience, RSVP by emailing press@lacma.org.

At LACMA, we're dedicated to creating spaces where art becomes a catalyst for change, where we confront uncomfortable truths, and where we envision a more inclusive and just future. Join us on October 10 for what promises to be an illuminating evening of dialogue and art, as we collectively confront colonial histories and explore new perspectives. Have a great week, and we look forward to seeing you there.
