Postcommodity and Guillermo Galindo | Culminating Performance

California artists Postcommodity (Kade L. Twist and Cristóbal Martínez, participants in Desert X 2019) and Guillermo Galindo will perform a new composition performed live and with participants. The material for this new body of work was gathered from a month of intensive workshops with community members and groups in the Pico Neighborhood to create sound art that includes local histories. The performance will be preceded by a Tongva Land Blessing with Elder Julia Bogany.

This work is commissioned by 18th Street Arts Center and kicks off the organization’s Commons Lab public art initiative in its new gallery space at the Santa Monica Airport.
