WGSAC opens the longest-running annual exhibition in Los Angeles with the theme, Conjure: Reclaiming African American Traditions Through Hoodoo and Other Spiritual Dolls. The annual Black Doll Show explores the protective, liberatory and loving ways that dolls, amulets, quilts, charms and other items are used in African-American spiritual traditions. The opening reception, which includes a performance by The Hoodoo Spellbinders, takes place on Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m. with other events planned throughout the show’s run.
