ICA LA, Los Angeles
Join **Emma Robbins**, artist, activist, community organizer, and founder of **The Chapter House**, as well as **Amanda Sroka**, **ICA LA Senior Curator**, for a walkthrough of *Speaking in Tongues*, an exhibition featuring an intergenerational and international group of contemporary artists who embrace the role of art as a conduit to the spiritual. Exploring and expanding notions of the sacred and the divine, the presentation includes both new and pre-existing works by artists engaging with embodied and ecstatic forms of expression, ritual, and translation. A new commission within the exhibition is a score titled *Codetalker* (2026) by Raven Chacon and Candice Hopkins, the audio for which is playing daily at TCH. At a moment when religion is increasingly weaponized as an instrument to divide, *Speaking in Tongues* celebrates the spiritual as a tool for survival, kinship, and communion—centering the work of Indigenous and diasporic artists from the Global South to trace shared connections across geographies, cultures, and time.
