SUMMARY:Around the Bloc: Stories of Love and Joy From the Eastern European Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:This unique event brings together artists from a variety of disciplines from across the Eastern European diaspora\, celebrating their heritage and showcasing the radiance and beauty of their multifaceted cultures. Our goal is to highlight the love and joy that\, perhaps spitefully so\, is still present in a region that is too often synonymous with mass traumas and suffering. \nPerforming artists include writers\, photographers\, musicians\, digital artists\, and filmmakers: Anastasia Duchess\, Charents Apkarian\, Katya Richardson\, Lillian Feygin\, Maisa Imamovic\, Martha Wolnicki\, Matthew Gelman\, Nada Alic\, and Ruth Madievsky. An excerpt from Match in a Haystack\, a 2025 documentary produced in association with the Pulitzer Center\, will also be shown. \nDoors will open at 12:30pm\, and programming will run from 1-3pm\, with a wine reception to follow from 3-4pm. \nAdmission is free\, and books will be sold by a local Los Angeles bookstore. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to check out the latest exhibitions. \nThis event is a partnership with Dear Diary\, a series curated and hosted by Veronika Kelemen.

SUMMARY:FRAMEWORKS | Ashla Chavez-Razzano: HAVANA DIALECTIC
DESCRIPTION:HAVANA DIALECTIC is an ambient musical performance by artist Ashla Chavez-Razzano\, inspired by the urban soundscapes of Los Angeles\, California\, and Havana\, Cuba. The performance abstracts urban and natural environments local to the two cities as a way of reconciling places of exile and expansion. Three musicians—upright bassist Tate Chavez\, percussionist Zach Gotler\, and wind player Collin McCrary—will perform alongside ambient sound composition and experimental cinema vérité by Chavez-Razzano. Their organic\, meditative swelling of improvisation will complement the ever-changing visual collages of urban life in Los Angeles and Havana. Through found sound\, video\, poetry\, and live musical improvisation\, the piece explores new forms of the philosophical “dialectic”: between musician and field recordings; between contrasting urban landscapes; between ideals of advancement and realities of decline. \nThis performance inaugurates the 2026 season of the Wende Museum’s experimental music series FRAMEWORKS. This season\, each featured artist will develop an interdisciplinary performance considering both domestic and public spaces as they relate to the artist’s singular perspective. Each artist will reflect on the subtle implications of space\, as functional and measurable records of cities or cultures; versus place\, the conceptual and felt imaginings of the familiar or alien. Embodying the Wende’s ethos of promoting research into dynamic global networks and processes of transformation through an experimental lens\, the series’ bimonthly\, site-specific performances examine the “frameworks” through which we narrate the past and imagine the future; they complement the Museum’s exhibitions and programs while simultaneously acting as channels to contemporary scenes alive in Los Angeles. \nThere will be a complimentary reception prior to the program\, starting at 1 p.m. The performance will begin at 2 p.m. \nAshla Chavez-Razzano is a Los Angeles–based writer\, musician\, and curatorial consultant whose work traces the emotional and social possibilities of sound. Moving between writing\, music\, radio\, and performance\, her practice is rooted in storytelling through experimentation and active listening. In 2024\, Ashla debuted her sound-art at STADTWERKSTATT in Berlin. Since 2023\, she has been the artistic director of art-folk band Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit. As resident DJ of radio stations DUBLAB and KTPC 99.1 FM in Venice\, Ashla has utilized the medium of sound as a method of connection\, whether in person or on the air. Her writing has been recognized in Poets & Writers Magazine\, SPIN Magazine\, and Dream Boy Book Club.
