For the inaugural Rotunda Commission, Mercedes Dorame drew upon her Tongva heritage to create her first large-scale installation, titled Woshaa’axre Yaang’aro (Looking Back). In this conversation, Dorame joins Richard Rand, associate director of Collections, and Michael Mitchell, head of Preparations, to discuss the collaborative creation and installation of her artwork. For in-person attendees, the program concludes with a light reception and exhibition viewing at sunset.
