Embark on a journey of introspection and exploration with us at Regen Projects. We've been meaning to go to art exhibitions, and the Alberta Whittle and By the Sea exhibitions at Regen Projects seemed perfect. 



The exhibition at Regen Projects was showcasing the thought-provoking works of acclaimed artist Alberta Whittle. 



Titled, Learning a new punctuation for home in times of disaster, Whittle invites viewers to delve into themes of identity, history, and social justice with unparalleled depth and nuance.



At the heart of the exhibition lies Whittle's profound commitment to storytelling. Whittle's work is deeply rooted in the intersections of race, gender, and post-colonialism, drawing from her own experiences as a woman of color navigating diverse cultural landscapes. 



Drawing inspiration from her Afro-Caribbean heritage and her experiences navigating the complexities of contemporary society, Whittle weaves together narratives that challenge, confront, and ultimately empower. 



But perhaps the most powerful aspect of Whittle's work is its ability to spark conversation and inspire action. Through her thought-provoking installations, Whittle challenges viewers to confront uncomfortable truths, to question their assumptions, and to imagine new possibilities for the future.



As you step into the world of Alberta Whittle at Regen Projects, prepare to be moved, challenged, and transformed. For here, in the space where art and activism intersect, lies an opportunity not just to observe, but to engage—to participate in a dialogue that transcends boundaries and inspires change.



"By The Sea" is another exhibition at Regen Projects. This exhibition centers around water and Los Angeles' close relationship with water. From its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its tumultuous relationship with droughts and floods, By The Sea provides an opportunity to appreciate and revere the power of water. 



The exhibition represents water as a meta-metaphor for the dialogue of perception, a conduit for bridging different cultures, races, and languages as oceans and rivers fluidly without borders. 



With the theme in mind, you can appreciate the exhibition a lot more comprehensively. 



There is a bookstore as you're exiting the gallery. 



Their exhibitions are live until 5/18, so if you're interested in viewing them, go now! 


Until next time,
