Free Admission
FRANCIS & ANTHONY ALMENDAREZ
Co-presented by Aurora Picture Show, Blaffer Art Museum, and Lawndale Art Center
This experimental live performance and media work by Francis and Anthony Almendárez explores distinctions between official narratives, marginalized histories, and subjective memories, while it blends and remixes them. Incorporating archival and original imagery, readings, and improvised music, Navigating the Archives Within is both a unique expression of the artists’ personal history and a communal meditation on the lived experience of the liminal. Featured performers include Francis Almendárez, Anthony Almendárez, Gabriel Martinez, Ivette Román-Roberto, Juan Garcia, Brandon Willis, and Xavier Gilmore.
