ReflectSpace, in partnership with the Getty Conservation Institute, presents Alta / A Human Atlas of a City of Angels, an internationally acclaimed social impact project by UK-based artist Marcus Lyon. The exhibition weaves together portraiture, personal narratives, and ancestral DNA data to map LA’s layered identities through the lives of 100 Angelenos who have made significant contributions to the city.
On view May 9 through July 12 , 2026, Alta offers a powerful, community-centered exploration of migration, belonging, and the evolving human story of the city. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, May 9, 2026, from 6:30PM to 8:30PM.
After your gallery visit, spend some time in nature at Brand Library and Art Center only 3 miles away.
