The Chinese American Museum is currently hosting an exhibition featuring 18 LA-based artists, most of whom are street artists who have either transposed their works onto gallery-appropriate materials or have constructed new pieces for the show. Entitled “Deferred Dreams,” the exhibition draws on artists from a wide range of cultural backgrounds to emphasize that immigration reform is not restricted to the Latino community – a common misconception that is widely held in Los Angeles. Highlights include a collaborative piece by Shepard Fairey and Ernesto Yerena, photos and an Altamont T-shirt by Eriberto Oriol, and a sign by Tempt (who has Lou Gehrig Disease; meaning that he is entirely paralyzed and must use a special system that allows him to draw using only his eyes). “Deferred Dreams” is free to the public and is set to run until May 22.
