What to do this weekend: Autumn Breon brings the power of Black hair salons to downtown L.A.

5. ‘Wangari Mathenge: Tidal Wave of Colour’
Inspired by Malcolm X’s description of the post-World War II zeitgeist, “Tidal Wave of Colour” reimagines prominent works of art with a diverse lens. Wangari Mathenge re-creates iconic paintings, including Georges Seurat’s “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,” in her latest exhibition at Roberts Projects in Hancock Park, to reclaim them by exploring race, class and geography. She uses her signature bright colors and fabrics to bring Black subjects into the paintings, filling the background with African environments and hints of spiritual spontaneity. The free exhibition runs until June 3 and the gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. More details on “Tidal Wave of Colour” can be found on Robert's Projects' website.
