Artists Dale Davis and Tami Outterbridge join LACMA curator Lauren Hanson for a conversation moderated by independent curator jill moniz on Sunday, December 20.
All times are local to the venue · America/Los Angeles
After the Watts Rebellion, brothers Alonzo and Dale Brockman Davis founded a South L.A. gallery that supported young artists of color. LACMA’s conversation considers what art can preserve—community, memory and connection to place—through periods of loss and change.
The one-hour discussion brings together artists Dale Davis and Tami Outterbridge with LACMA curator Lauren Hanson. Independent curator jill moniz moderates.
The announced subject is how artists hold on to community, memory and place, and how art can help people meet loss and change. The mix of artists and museum staff places those questions alongside the exhibition devoted to Brockman Gallery.

LACMA describes The Brockman Gallery: Los Angeles, 1967–1990 as its first large-scale exhibition focused on the gallery’s impact. It brings together archival material and more than 60 works across media connected to the Davises’ community-oriented project.
The gallery was an early platform for artists including David Hammons, Suzanne Jackson and Carrie Mae Weems, whose careers it helped support, as well as other young artists of color. The exhibition is on view October 18, 2026, through January 24, 2027, giving the conversation a specific history of artistic support and exchange to draw on.

The conversation runs from 1 to 2 p.m. on Sunday, December 20. An 11 a.m.–2 p.m. workshop, Inspired by Reiko Sudo: Introduction to Tsutsumi (The Art of Wrapping), overlaps its final hour; that separate program is listed at $40, or $35 for members.
For Whose Entertainment follows from 4 to 5:30 p.m. and is listed as free with RSVP. These are separate listings, not parts of the Brockman Gallery conversation, so the workshop cannot be attended in full alongside it.
