The image is a poster for an art exhibition titled "ROOTED IN AFRICA" at THE LOFT AT LIZ'S & INDIBA ARTS. The exhibition features various artists from Africa and the USA/Kenya, Senegal, and Uganda. The poster includes event details like the opening reception and curator/artist talk dates. The exhibition is curated by Liz Gordon & Willy Karakezi and is located at 453 S. La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90036.

“Rooted in Africa” is more than an exhibition; it is a dialogue between cultures, a celebration of diversity and unity. Through our theme – “Two People, Two Continents, Two Countries, Two Cultures, Two Genders, Two Generations, Two Races, Two Religions, Two Ideologies” – we explore the convergence of different worlds, coming together in a harmonious symphony. Our artists are not just creators; they are storytellers, visionaries, and pioneers, weaving their narratives into a tapestry of shared human experience.

We invite you to partake in this visual journey, to immerse yourself in the narratives and colors of “Rooted in Africa.” Join us for the Opening Reception on January 20th, from 5 to 8 pm, and engage in a deeper discourse at the Artist & Curator Talk on February 28th, from 7 to 9 pm.

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. Castile, a nutrition services supervisor at an elementary school, was shot after being pulled over in his car—an incident that was livestreamed on Facebook by Castile’s girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, who was sitting in the…
