Exhibition Walk-through: Construction, Occupation

January 10, 2026 | 1:00PM - 2:00PM

IN PERSON

RSVP

Join us for a final walk-through of Construction, Occupation led by co-curator Alex Ungprateeb Flynn ahead of the exhibition’s closing on January 11, 2026. Ungprateeb Flynn will highlight key works and explore how art intersects with power, infrastructure, and the politics of spatial justice, inviting reflection on the role of collective action and artistic intervention in shaping the city and public life.

Alex Ungprateeb Flynn is associate professor and graduate vice chair at the UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance. His research sits between the arts and social sciences, cultural theory and aesthetic practice. Working with activists, curators, and artists in Brazil, Ungprateeb Flynn investigates the prefigurative potential of art in community contexts and theorizes about the production of knowledge, notions of utopia, and social and aesthetic dimensions of form. Through a collaborative methodological approach, he inquires into how human beings express themselves artistically and in doing so, seek to transform the world.
