Made in L.A. 2018, the latest iteration of the Hammer Museum's biennial, is a powerful antidote to the fatalistic, apocolyptic imaginaries dominating 2018's media landscape.

Heimir Björgúlfsson makes art populated by birds and wild animals, snippets of the natural world, and bits of detritus evidencing the human hand.

Grace Lynne makes art about her relationship with herself "as a Black woman, and the vulnerability that that entails." She also works in social impact design and "strives to stimulate empathy and critical thinking through art."
