In Motion: The African American Migration Experience
California African American Museum [CAAM]
600 State Drive, Exposition Park
Los Angeles, CA 90037
This exhibition, from the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Studies in New York, presents a new interpretation of African American history, one that focuses on the self-motivated activities of peoples of African descent to remake themselves and their worlds. Of the defining migrations that formed and transformed African America, only the transatlantic slave trade, the domestic slave trades and the runaway journeys evoked by those trades were coerced; the others were voluntary movements of resourceful and creative men and women, risk-takers in an exploitative and hostile environment. Their survival skills, efficient networks and dynamic culture enabled them to thrive and spread, and to be at the very core of the settlement and development of the Americas. Their hopeful journeys changed not only their own world, but also the American political and socio-cultural landscape and the world at large.

Allensworth: 100 Years of the California Dream
California African American Museum [CAAM]
600 State Drive, Exposition Park
Los Angeles, CA 90037
Allensworth has been called a “monument to a dream”. The settlement, founded in 1908 by Col. Allen Allensworth, Prof. William Payne, minister Dr. W.H. Peck, miner J.W. Palmer and real estate agent Harry Mitchel through the California Colony and Home Promoting Association, did represent the dream of its namesake, “to show the world that the Negro can DO and BE everything that is expected of an intelligent citizenship.” It also symbolized the dream of African Americans across California and the U.S. for civic opportunity, the chance to create an ideal social enterprise free from the restrictions imposed during this troublesome period considered “the nadir” of race relations in America. The exhibition celebrating the centennial of Allensworth is a collaboration with the California Department of Parks and Recreation, the California African American Museum and the California Community Empowerment Foundation.

Within Fours Miles:
Works by Josh Dorman
Craft and Folk Art Museum
5814 Wilshire Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90036
While created on antique maps, Josh Dorman’s fantasy landscapes speak more to the difficulty of navigating physical and emotional space than to the exactness of cartography. Using old textbooks, vintage maps, scientific diagrams, and more, Brooklyn-based Dorman collages ambiguous guides for fellow travelers who prefer the loose logic of a dream state to the allusion of reality. Both whimsical and mysterious, Dorman’s collages tell a million stories at once, while keeping “within four miles” of the artist’s personal journey. This first solo museum exhibit presents the last decade of work by this nationally-renown artist, who is also an active curator, teacher, and writer.
