LAND is pleased to celebrate Jackie Amézquita (@jackieamezquita) as part of the inaugural cohort of artists to receive the recently launched Mohn LAND Grants.⁠
⁠
Mohn LAND Grants is a new and ambitious initiative to introduce, and invest in, emerging Los Angeles artists, providing them with a platform to present site-responsive, transdisciplinary work across Los Angeles County and to serve as a first formal public presentation. Over a five year cycle, up to 20 artists will receive Mohn LAND Grants to realize intentional and community-focused public projects ranging from large-scale sculpture commissions to street level interventions. The initiative reflects LAND’s mission to empower artists to have autonomy over the presentation of their work and in more direct relationship with the public. ⁠
⁠
Jackie Amézquita (b. 1985, Quetzaltenango, Guatemala) migrated to the U.S. in 2003. Her work explores narratives of migration and how people navigate power structures and unites performances, site specific activations, installations and organic materials such as masa, soil, salt, hydrated lime, and produce to explore a visual language that investigates modes of adaptation, and integration in the aftermath of migration.⁠
⁠
This weekend, LAND is partnering with @welcometolace to present Jackie ⁠Amézquita's Gemidos de la Tierra (Wailings of the Land/Soil) as a citywide procession across Los Angeles. Learn more about Jackie's project and the Mohn LAND Grants at the link in our bio.⁠

As Nowruz, the Iranian New Year is celebrated around the globe, LAND is pleased to announce the latest iteration of our ongoing project, Signs for Change, with artist Amir H. Fallah @amirhfallah. Amir has identified @omid_foundation and @centerforhumanrights as recipients from the project proceeds, two organizations committed to uplifting human rights advocacy in Iran. ⁠
⁠
LAND has commissioned a wearable artwork in the form of a T-shirt featuring Fallah’s large-scale public sculpture, CHANT, currently on view in Hollywood @shulamitnazarian. Stemming from recent protests that raged across Iran, ignited by the brutal murder of Jina (Mahsa) Amini, CHANT carries the rallying cry of the movement “WOMAN. LIFE. FREEDOM.” in the colors of the Iranian flag, distilling our anger into a demand that can and must be met. Written in English, Farsi, and the phonetic Farsi, these translations are important to diasporic Iranians whose relationship with the written language is in the phonetic form. ⁠
⁠
We mark the start of this Iranian New Year by uplifting the Iranian community through this work, a community that is deeply embedded in the city of Los Angeles. CHANT represents a universal light, the beauty in femininity, and the strength of the Iranian people, who for decades have been united in a struggle for freedom. ⁠
⁠
We invite you to learn more about the significance of this project and purchase a shirt at the link in bio. 50% of proceeds will go to @omid_foundation and @centerforhumanrights⁠
