Fall 2024 - Winter 2025
MOCA Grand Avenue
MOCA culture:LAB welcomes the Watts Labor Community Action Committee (WLCAC) this season for a residency that will include an interactive installation on the Sculpture Plaza at MOCA Grand Avenue, along with a series of programs that imagine a greener future for the community of Watts.
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.
The Watts Labor Community Action Committee (WLCAC) is a non-profit, community-based, human social services organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for South Central Los Angeles residents. For more information about WLCAC, please visit wlcac.org.
This program is organized by Justen Leroy, Director of Public Programs and Community Outreach, with Alitzah Oros, Public Programming Associate, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
