As part of Art + Practice and LORE Leimert Park’s monthly book conversation series, Behind the Page, we invite you to join a one-of-a-kind conversation with award winning chef and Alta Adams co-owner, Keith Corbin. Moderated by Prophet Walker, this conversation will be centered around Chef Keith’s latest book, California Soul: An American Epic of Cooking and Survival.

Join artist Tru Sound for an intimate sonic response to J. Yolande Daniels: To A Future Space-Time. Centered on Leimert Park, this live experience explores the mapped autonomy of Black communities through sound, space, and memory.

Using site-specific field recordings, reinterpreted dictionary plates, and archival material, Tru Sound creates a layered listening session that reimagines how Black life resonates within and beyond architecture.

Come listen, reflect, and experience space-time through sound.

Join Art + Practice (A+P) on the first Friday of each month for a guided tour of our current exhibition, J. Yolande Daniels: To A Future Space-Time. Delve into Daniels’ exploration of Black autonomy, spatial resistance and the ways African American communities have redefined space and time beyond colonial constructs. Led by with A+P Gallery Experience Coordinator and Assistant Registrar, Leah Moment, this tour offers a deeper understanding of how Daniels reappropriates cultural tools to challenge dominant narratives and highlight the resilience of Black spatial practices. Advance RSVPs via Eventbrite and early arrival are strongly encouraged.

Cody Perkins and V.C.R closing performance will guide an improvisational reflection of J. Yolande Daniels’ solo exhibition To A Future Space-Time. Hosted within the gallery walls, the meditative performance explores the temporality and bass of  “The Riot”. Explored through the vocals and violin of V.C.R “The Riot” is sonically discussed as a form, technology and meditative practice that has kept communities of color safe for decades. Featured in exhibition pieces There’s A Riot Goin’ On (2025) and 3 (Silent) Meditations on Black Reconstruction, Reparations, and Abolition (2021). Bring a yoga mat or blanket and join us in the collaborative effort between artist and audience as we close To A Future Space-Time.
