Nature / Nurture is a public, pop-up performance event that intersects a variety of art forms in a natural, outdoor environment that explores how we interact with nature (biology/family history) and nurture (community/surroundings).

The event will feature the sound of ambient music collective Academy of Light as they perform a long-form improvisation in response to their natural surroundings while also channeling their own unique expressions. This sonic landscape will be accompanied by a paper-folding performance by multidisciplinary artist Claire June Apana and a barley tea ceremony hosted by former LA Times Food photo editor Angeline Woo.

 Also Featuring:

Angelique Kalani Axelrode, artist and filmmaker, present her work, KAI HALI’A, dedicated to our kūpuna (“ancestors” in Hawaiian) who live with and through us, a tribute to the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

Naomi Moser, abstract digital artist and dance theater, and film company Heavy Boots, performances breathwork and spoken word.

Two Performances 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Next along the path is an expansive Chisen or “wet-strolling” garden with waterfalls, lakes and streams, abundant greenery, and stone lanterns, which were hand-carved by artisans in Japan. At the end of this path…

Mark Bradford: 150 Portrait Tone

Mark Bradford’s 150 Portrait Tone, a mural-size composition that contains elements of both abstraction and realism, is based on an idea for a work that the artist conceived after the fatal shooting of Philando Castile by a police officer in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in July 2016.
