Sunset Exhibitions

Sunset Exhibitions at The Broad celebrate the thriving Indigenous and Native cultures abundant in Southern California through vibrant demonstrations of dance, drumming, and singing. These art forms, whether used for storytelling, prayer, or connecting to nature and ancestry, are not only being preserved, but also reinvigorated for contemporary audiences by practitioners today. Sunset Exhibitions provide a platform for our robust and varied local Native communities from many parts of the continent to share in the joy of gathering outdoors, honoring history, and acknowledging the present moment as the sun sets over Tovangaar, the original name for The Los Angeles Basin and surrounding areas. The term “Exhibition” is used to differentiate dances and other performances which are intended for demonstration from Pow Wow dances, which are competitive.
