Speaking in Tongues

Institute of Contemporary Art Los Angeles · Downtown LA
Exhibition on view: Apr 4, 2026 - Aug 23, 2026

Speaking in Tongues is a group exhibition bringing together international and intergenerational contemporary artists who engage art as a conduit to spiritual experience. The works address ritual, embodiment, language, and translation, expanding ideas of the sacred beyond institutional religion. Centering Indigenous and diasporic perspectives, the exhibition considers spirituality as a means of memory, continuity, and collective connection across cultures and histories.

Anzaldúa, Ron Athey and Carmina Escobar, Belkis Ayón, Raven Chacon, Jesse Chun, Asher Hartman in collaboration with Jasmine Orpilla, iris yirei hu, Hanna Hur, Việt Lê, Karen Lofgren, Tiona Nekkia McClodden, Na Mira and lexi welch, Senga Nengudi, Tuan Andrew Nguyen, Aki Onda, Lydia Ourahmane, Fazal Rizvi, Carlos Villa, and Luis Fernando Zapata.
