Kick–off: culture:LAB: Womxn in Windows
MOCA Grand Ave
Sunday, February 16, 2025

Free with RSVP
Join MOCA and Womxn In Windows as we celebrate the launch of seven film works that negotiate land, diaspora and displacement from artists Cauleen Smith, Alima Lee and more as part of MOCA culture:lab.
MOCA culture:LAB supports the production and dissemination of culture, embracing experimentation through collaboration and collective imagination. Whether forging new community partnerships with emerging groups or amplifying those who are already making significant contributions to the field, culture:LAB moves beyond the walls of the museum into the ever-evolving cultural landscape of Los Angeles to explore pathways toward artistic action and innovation informed by issues of our time.
WOMXN IN WINDOWS is a platform for the perspectives of women on culture, identity and society. What started as an annual public exhibition of women-made art films in storefront windows is now on a mission to support intergenerational and cross-cultural dialogue. WxW has been regarded by the LA Times as 'a video art show made for this moment' and by LA Weekly as 'an installation that challenges conventions of female representation'. Through the years WxW has shown the works of digital artists and filmmakers such as Carrie Mae Weems, Lorna Simpson, Martine Syms, Ja'tovia Gary, Kilo Kish, Alima Lee, Christine Yuan, Yumna Al Arashi & Arshia Fatima Haq among many others.
