masterpiece of animation.

Fabiola Jean-Louis’s photographic series Rewriting History places Black women into a surreal historical imaginary, sculpting the trappings of European nobility and colonialism onto Black femme bodies. Using paper as a symbol of freedom, she intricately crafts papier mâché period gowns for her subjects, inverting the historical depiction of women of color as disenfranchised, enslaved and unadorned into empowered and elegant portraits.

Made in L.A. 2025 is the seventh iteration of the Hammer’s signature biennial exhibition that showcases artists practicing throughout the greater Los Angeles area. The 28 participants in the exhibition present work not only made in the city but also grounded in its complex and unfolding terrain. Neither myth nor monolith, Los Angeles is many things to many people, and its dissonance is perhaps its most distinguishing feature. The works presented in this year’s biennial include film, painting, theater, choreography, photography, sculpture, sound, and video. Attitude draws them together: Each engages with this city in ways alternately literal, formal, material, and metaphoric. Conceived or made in Los Angeles, they are of this city and nowhere else.
