We are excited to have acquired work by each of these five artists. AHAN is an ongoing LACMA initiative that does more than simply provide international exposure to emerging artists in Los Angeles. As an acquisition fund, AHAN: Studio Forum highlights emerging talent in the museum’s local community. With global museum closures come complex conversations about accessibility and artists’ voices. For this year’s announcement, Mellon Undergraduate Curatorial Fellow Danielle Pesqueira conducted interviews with each artist about their practice and the AHAN acquisition of their work. In their words, "In light of the Safer at Home order, and the most recent outcries of the Black Lives Matter movement, I found these exchanges incredibly intimate and humbling. From my perspective, talking about new works coming into LACMA’s collection made me consider the future when we can be around art again, and what role we all have in supporting our local artists and communities of color in Los Angeles."
