Speaking in Tongues Walkthrough

  • Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles 1717 East 7th Street Los Angeles, California, 90021 United States (map)

Join Emma Robbins, artist, activist, community organizer, and founder of The Chapter House, as well as Amanda Sroka, ICA LA Senior Curator, for a walkthrough of Speaking in Tongues, an exhibition featuring an intergenerational and international group of contemporary artists who embrace the role of art as a conduit to the spiritual. Exploring and expanding notions of the sacred and the divine, the presentation includes both new and pre-existing works by artists engaging with embodied and ecstatic forms of expression, ritual, and translation. A new commission within the exhibition is a score titled Codetalker (2026) by Raven Chacon and Candice Hopkins, the audio for which is playing daily at TCH. At a moment when religion is increasingly weaponized as an instrument to divide, Speaking in Tongues celebrates the spiritual as a tool for survival, kinship, and communion—centering the work of Indigenous and diasporic artists from the Global South to trace shared connections across geographies, cultures, and time.
