Ofrenda Theme

Los Angeles Basin is the unceded territory of the Tongva, Tataviam, Serrano, Kizh, and Chumash and home to generations of ancestors from all over the world. Ofrenda or offerings provide inspiration for the artists who reflect on their ancestors, rites of passage, sacred spaces and pay tribute.
