• In Town — Los Angeles and environs

The Broad kicks off our 2022 summer performances with artists reflecting on the complex meanings and symbolism of the United States flag represented in The Broad’s special exhibition “This Is Not America’s Flag.” The first “Now We’re Here” performance event features barrier-breaking rapper Niña Dioz, genre-bending singer Rubby, performance artist and filmmaker Xandra Ibarra, poet and healer féi hernandez, the world’s first and only LGBTQ+ mariachi band Mariachi Arcoiris de Los Angeles, and a wildcard, all-vinyl set on the decks by local cult favorite DJ Cocteautwinks, exploring immigration, gender and sexuality, spirituality, colonialism, and more at the intersections of Indigenous and ancestral heritage and contemporary pop culture.
