Opening Day Community Celebration for Joseph Beuys: In Defense of Nature
Overview
Join us for our free community day at the museum to celebrate the opening of The Broad’s new collection show, Joseph Beuys: In Defense of Nature. The event will feature a DJ Set by In Sheep’s Clothing, a Family Weekend Workshop, and an exhibition-themed photobooth.
In Sheep's Clothing is a home for analog music culture that cultivates discovery and community through active listening experiences, record popups, and music editorial. For the opening day of Joseph Beuys: In Defense of Nature, In Sheep’s Clothing will spin a selection of Krautrock classics on vinyl, including Can, NEU!, Kraftwerk, Ash Ra Tempel, and more, along with deeper cuts that expand on the sound that the post-World War II experimental music pioneers developed in Germany.
We will also be hosting a Family Weekend Workshop, where kids and their families can get creative with native plants, inspired by Social Forest: Oaks of Tovaangar, our reforestation project in conjunction with the exhibition. Join a workshop with North East Trees to craft a seed pellet with native plants and learn more about the importance of native plants in Los Angeles, including how to care for them. Inspired by Beuys’ practice of ecological art as a tool for healing the environment, design a bag for your seed pellet that speaks to your relationship with nature and the role it plays in your life. Grow with us and engage in community as we create seed pellets as artworks to plant in our neighborhoods. This program is intended for children aged 3+ and their families.
