There’s something for everyone this summer at CAAM! Watch a documentary about the first Black homesteaders in the Santa Monica Mountains, flow through poses at indoor yoga, make a zine with the family, and see a live performance at Art + Practice. Visit the galleries to experience Paula Wilson: Toward the Sky’s Back Door and Black California Dreamin’: Claiming Space at America’s Leisure Frontier before they close in mid-August. Read more about the programs planned for July and we hope to see you soon!

Performance: serpentwithfeet
serpentwithfeet is a Brooklyn-based experimental musician whose work reflects love, intimacy, and queerness—themes that are also present throughout the exhibition Tatyana Fazlalizadeh: Finding Soft Ground. Influenced, like Fazlalizadeh, by Black feminist ideas, serpentwithfeet will perform a set within the artist’s installation at Art + Practice, activating her environments.
