JOAN

Nancy Foster

JOAN is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit art space for exhibitions, performances, screenings, and discursive events. Founded in 2015 by three female curators, and inspired by the history of feminist performance spaces, JOAN supports experimental practices that exist outside of commercial contexts and aims to enrich the communities it serves with free, public programming that is intellectually stimulating and that has creative, cultural, and educational value.

Funds will go to JOAN in support of Sofía Córdova: The Wreck and Not the Story of the Wreck. Sofía Córdova is a rising star amongst young Puerto Rican artists. She has recently shown at the Whitney Museum as well Tufts University. This will be her first solo exhibition in LA and will look to science-fiction as alternative history, consider dance music’s liberatory dimensions, and critique the conditions created by late capitalism and its technologies. The show will run May-July 2024.
