Works on view from our permanent collection hail from around the world, and include Pre-Columbian ceramics and textiles from Mexico, Central America and Peru, Modern Mexican masters and Contemporary Art.
Presented at The Music Center, this exhibition features an intergenerational group of portraits by Los Angeles-based Latina artists drawn from the permanent collection.
In her first solo museum exhibition, artist Eva Aguila researches the history of the Mission grape and wine production in the Catholic mission system to examine the effects of colonization in what was once “Nueva España,” now Mexico and California. This immersive installation uses wine as a tool to recontextualize histories of agriculture, religion, and nation-building, illuminating the power of art to foster reflection and healing for Latinx and Indigenous peoples.
