LACMA Announces 'Grounded' Exhibition Featuring 35 Artists Exploring Land and Sovereignty
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art presents Grounded, a multi-media exhibition featuring 40 works by 35 artists based across the Americas and the Pacific. The exhibition examines land as a foundation to explore history, ecology, sovereignty, memory and home. Artists consider the effects of colonialism and imperialism, share stories of forced migration and displacement, and engage with Indigenous mythologies and ancestral histories. It is co-curated by Rita Gonzalez, Dhyandra Lawson and Nancy Thomas.
The Signal
The exhibition reflects LACMA's curatorial strategy of foregrounding artists from the Americas and Pacific who reinterpret land amid themes of displacement and cultural sovereignty. Multi-media approaches to these subjects indicate a sustained institutional interest in connecting ecology with postcolonial narratives. Curators and collectors may observe how such presentations elevate regional voices within broader contemporary art discourse.
