As the shadow of fascism falls over Los Angeles, few exhibitions feel as chillingly timely as POLICE STATE by Nadya Tolokonnikova (@pussyriot), now on view at @moca’s warehouse space—just steps from where the Trump administration has deployed armed forces against civilians. Tolokonnikova, who served time in a Russian prison for the same defense of freedom, has reconstructed her former cell here. It’s a claustrophobic monument to resistance, its walls lined with artwork by political prisoners, its air filled with haunting Russian lullabies and ambient soundscapes. A small monitor flickers with smuggled footage from inside a real Russia penal colony. The effect is visceral, poetic, and pointed: a stark reminder that freedom is fragile—and must be defended. On view through June 14. #policestate #nadyatolokonnikova #pussyriot #ice #protest #losangeles

Northern Irish fashion designer @jonathan.anderson steps into his new role at @dior at a moment when the world feels at war with itself. He becomes the first sole creative director of all collections at the storied house since Monsieur Christian Dior. Like Dior, Anderson is no stranger to conflict. He grew up amid the ethno-nationalist violence of Northern Ireland’s Troubles, a childhood marked by bomb checks on the family car, hijacked school buses, and the memory of people shot in their vehicles. Christian Dior, too, was shaped by war. His sister Catherine, a member of the French Resistance, was arrested by the Gestapo and deported to a concentration camp, where she remained until liberation. In 1947, Dior named his debut fragrance Miss Dior in her honor. Now, in a sartorial zeitgeist marked by unrest and upheaval, the question lingers: what will be Jonathan Anderson’s New Look?

“The language of gesture is universal.” The legendary filmmaker Dario Argento for Bottega Veneta’s new Craft Is Our Language campaign Bottega Veneta today launches ‘Craft is our Language’, a new campaign marking the 50th anniversary of the house’s iconic leather weave, Intrecciato. The campaign, photographed by Jack Davison @jackdavisonphoto and choreographed by Lenio Kaklea @leniokaklea celebrates Bottega Veneta handcraft and creativity, as well as the wider beauty of hand gestures as a universal language. #bottegaveneta #craftisourlanguage #bottegaweave #darioargento #cinema #filmmaker

Paul Jasmin (1935 — 2025) Jasmin was the ultimate chronicler of the Southern California mood and energy. His photographs of “Lost Angeles” and its young inhabitants in a kind of heat wave induced lassitude, spread out on fur rugs and velvet couches, under motel neon and palm trees kissing motel roofs, are indelible and iconic. His camera was a heavy drinker of youth and its inexplicable magnetism. 📸 @wadleywadley #pauljasmin
