The Art Parade 2026 is presented by LACMA as part of the Block Party during the David Geffen Galleries Grand Opening Weekend. The parade will be the culminating event of the Block Party, after a day of free museum access, music, food, and art activities across the LACMA campus. The parade is a large-scale public procession of human-powered works, featuring structural costumes, carriable sculptures, banners, inflatables, and Metabolic Studio’s Controlled Burn.
Controlled Burn is a participatory ecological procession and pedagogical performance drawing on Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), wildfire ecology, and community-based environmental stewardship practices. The same regenerative cycles that restore scorched landscapes—clearing what harms, releasing what nourishes, preparing ground for new life—are alive within our communities. At a moment when communities across Los Angeles face the threat of displacement and surveillance, Controlled Burn holds another truth: fire melts ice. We keep us safe.
Gather your friends and host your own Controlled Burn workshop!
In the weeks leading up to the Art Parade, we will gather at Metabolic Studio and different sites across the city to build fire puppets, decentralizing the making process with the city as a collective studio and eco-system. Interested in hosting a puppet-making workshop? We’ll provide the necessary supplies, instructions, and our how-to video.
Email Kelly at kmajewski@metabolicstudio.org to host your own workshop, if you have questions, or to sign up to join Controlled Burn at the Art Parade. Once signed up we will send you meet up and event details. You can RSVP for the workshops at Metabolic Studio at www.metabolicstudio.org

bobcats and coyotes have a complicated relationship in these landscapes. Coyotes often dominate open alkali expanses, while bobcats favor broken terrain, vegetation edges, and infrastructural shelter. Seeing a bobcat comfortably crossing Owens Lake suggests it has learned the rhythms of that engineered terrain extremely well.
Every seed you save is a small act of rebellion against a system that wants to keep us dependent. Seed saving provides both individuals and communities with a method of continuing cultural traditions, preparing for climate-related stressors, and cultivating biodiversity.Phacelia grandiflora, blooming from the ash of the 2025 palisades fire from a landslide salvaged at the Moon by artist Lauren Bon & @metabolicstudio#seedsaving #climateresilience
A bobcat crosses the engineered dust plains of Owens Lake — a predator moving through a landscape transformed by extraction, diversion, and atmospheric repair.
In the wake of an emptied lake, life studies the infrastructure and adapts. Berms become corridors. Shallow flooding zones become habitat. Industrial scars become edge ecologies.
The bobcat reminds us that even altered systems continue to negotiate with the wild.
Not pristine nature. Not ruin. Something metabolizing in between.

On this date sixteen years ago, Metabolic Studio opened the IOU Garden on Main Street in Lone Pine, California.
The “IOU” emerged from a simple but unresolved premise: Los Angeles owes Owens Valley.
What began as a garden quickly expanded into a larger public inquiry around extraction, reciprocity, water, soil, food production, transmission, and collective memory in Payahuunadü / Owens Valley.
That same weekend, the project Pipeline unfolded across the silos near Owens Lake with workshops, sound recordings, handmade film experiments, and performances directed by Walter Asmus, Samuel Beckett’s longtime collaborator from Berlin. Residents of Owens Valley and Los Angeles formed the Waiting for Godot Community Chorus together on the dry lakebed.
Many of the ideas that continue through Bending the River, Moving Mountains, the Milpa, and the cyborg watershed of the Intermountain West were already germinating here. #beckett #performance #transmissionart #reparations

join is tonight, friday may 15, 6 pm to plant seeds and hear our debut of this amazing new instrument built and designed by @thedouglaslee to enchant the floodplain! we are excited to have you--uoull be do e by 7:30!
On May 1, under the full moon, we gathered in Tovaangar for a conversation with PEN America. Amy Cordalis Bowers, author of “The Water Remembers,” shared the Klamath River’s journey back to freedom, while Emma Robbins, Navajo water warrior and founder of The Chapter House, led the conversation with fluency and grace. As we prepare to cleanse the LA River with Bending the River, we acknowledge the Tongva land and its original caretakers. Restoring water is restoring life. Thank you @steinmanlou for making this gathering happen! How do you see the water remembering, in your world and in ours?#yurok #tongva #gabrielino #kizh #chapterhouse

“The Payahuunadü Interactive Sound Map”🎶🎵
Very excited to have this Metabolic Studio Sonic Division work exhibiting this weekend at Printed Matter’s LA Art Book Fair in the Reading Room!!! Opens tonight. Dates, times and address below
“An interactive electro-acoustic map that transmits sounds produced by animals, geological phenomena and human activities recorded by Metabolic Studio around Payahuunadü, also known as the Owens Valley. The listener is able to combine and isolate site specific field recordings as a way to experience the unintended yet pervasive effects of human-made, artificial sounds on the ecosystem surrounding the Owens Dry Lake Bed. It reminds us that sound is a mode of communication and a metric of vitality within a given ecosystem. The study of sonic landscapes can reveal invisible networks of interdependence throughout the natural world. The Payahuunadü Interactive Sound Map is also an opportunity to engage in deep listening while remaining silent for an extended period of time.”
ArtCenter College of Design, South Campus
950 S. Raymond Ave, Pasadena, CA 91105
Thursday, May 7 (Opening Night): 6 PM – 9 PM
Friday, May 8: 11 AM – 7 PM Saturday, May 9: 11 AM – 7 PM Sunday, May 10: 11 AM – 6 PM

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed?
