In Collaboration With

The Broad

Join co-curator of Time is Running Out of Time and The Broad’s Programs Manager Jheanelle Brown and Yusef Omowale, Library Director of the Southern California Library, to discuss Shirikiana Aina’s 1982 film Brick by Brick.

Rebellion and Today, which is on view at Art + Practice through September 14, 2019 and is presented in conjunction with Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power 1963-1983, on view at The Broad through September 1, 2019.
