About This Event

In celebration and expansion of our current exhibition Too Fast To Sing, join us on Saturday, December 13th at 2 p.m. for a special performance with Elana Mann and HEX, the award winning contemporary vocal sextet.

Speak Again is a collaborative assembly of performances exploring the shifting politics of hearing, listening, and speaking. Reimagining LAMAG’s gallery as a stage, the artists of HEX weld Mann’s sculptural instruments into a meditation on the subtle distinctions between sound, language, and meaning. The performance resonates with the spirit of Mann’s practice oriented around freedom of speech, the amplification of divergent voices, and the productive force of difference. Speak Again arrives at a moment of international upheaval, asking audiences to consider how listening and speaking function as critical tools for navigating an incoherent and volatile present.

Please note this program is free but will require an RSVP for entry. Visit our website for more information or follow the links in our bio. 

This public program is made possible by support from the Plum Foundation. Additional support and thanks to the Jenni Crane Foundation, an initiative dedicated to preserving the legacy of the esteemed artist and curator.
