Sunset Exhibitions: Hoop Dance—Eric Hernandez
221 S. Grand Ave. Los Angeles, CA 90012
Tomorrow, June 26 at 7:00 PM 8:00 PM
Ends Jun 26, 2025
See the special exhibition Jeffrey Gibson: the space in which to place me for free and experience the second installment of Sunset Exhibitions which showcases TEDx speaker, ambassador for Native American culture, and Hoop Dance world champion Eric Hernandez, member of the Lumbee tribe from North Carolina. His presentation will include interactive segments, cultural education, and a deeper dive into the meaning and history of the dance. 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. Presented in conjunction with the special exhibition, Jeffrey Gibson: the space in which to place me, 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 competitions. General admission to The Broad is always free. Every Thursday between 5 and 8 pm, Gibson’s exhibition is also free to visit. Seating is available on a first come, first served basis. Designated accessible seating and seating for Elders is available as well as a designated area of mats on the grass for mobility devices. Feel free to bring pillows and blankets.
