Hammer Museum exhibition centers non-Western knowledge and spiritual practices
The Hammer Museum at UCLA presents “No Humans Involved,” a group exhibition of works by seven artists and collectives Eddie Aparicio, Tau Lewis, Las Nietas de Nonó, Sondra Perry, SANGREE, WangShui and Wilmer Wilson IV whose work interrogates and disrupts Western modes of humanism.
Taking its title from a letter written by the cultural theorist Sylvia Wynter in the aftermath of the 1992 Los Angeles uprising, “No Humans Involved: An Open Letter to My Colleagues,” the exhibition expands on Wynter’s ideas by highlighting practices that center non-Western knowledge and spiritual practices, challenge the limits of corporeal identity, and consider the nonhuman or antihuman as a point of departure.

Most of its midcentury modernist complex on Wilshire Boulevard was quietly demolished during the COVID shutdown to make way for a wavy $650 million light-filled building spanning the boulevard and designed by architect Peter Zumthor.
