10 Shows to See in Los Angeles This May

This month’s selections of art to see in and around Los Angeles highlight how we tell our stories through  material culture. Kwame Brathwaite’s photographs include iconic images of the Black Power and Civil Rights movements, while an exhibition of Ancient Greek, Maya, and Moche pottery conveys scenes of myth and daily life. Jackie Amézquita’s “soil paintings” and the collaborative works of the 3B Collective trace cultural and interpersonal networks from LA to Mexico and Central America. An exhibition at the Academy Museum chronicles the role that Jewish filmmakers and producers played in establishing Hollywood as a global cinematic capital, and an intimate tribute to the late LA musician and producer Ras_G immerses visitors in his sonic and visual world.
