Incendiary Traces
invites viewers to draw the landscape of the Mediterranean within the virtual battlespace of Arma 3. Arma 3 is an open world, military simulation game sited on the fictional island of Atlis, inspired by the real-life Greek island of Lemnos. Drawing in situ, we will look closely at Arma 3’s version of this landscape in conflict, and consider the politics of visualizing the southern EU border.

Common Field’s Convening is an itinerant annual gathering that brings together 350+ local and national organizers to explore the state of the field of arts organizing and to share resources, knowledge and methods.

We're proud to announce that this year's LA Convening will be at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center - JACCC, and a constellation of sites across the city. Tickets are available — as well as logistical details, a preliminary schedule, and accessibility and safer space guidelines — at convening.commonfield.org.

Celestial Object- Black Diamond In The Rough

This presentation and subsequent talkback/panel discussion is an invitation for a community to consider the color ‘Black’ as it is deployed in art and culture. By unpacking the legacy of Blackness (its origins, meanings and weight) we can better account for how Blackness functions in the present. We live in a world marred by contrast - a world that vilifies the color - a world where Black functions as an eraser and, also, a highlighter. We invite you to consider the following inquiries.

Moderator and lecturer - Jahmal B Golden
