Through installation, sculpture, photography, textile, video, archival materials, and mixed-media practices, the exhibition considers the forces that shape collective identity and asks who has the authority to define history, culture, and belonging.

Looks like iam8bit has teamed up with SEGA for this one, so it's gonna be good.
For 35 years, Sonic has inspired generations through unforgettable adventures, groundbreaking games, beloved characters, and the iconic moments that have shaped one of gaming's most enduring figures. 35 Years of Speed: The Sonic Art Exhibit celebrates that legacy through a curated collection of newly imagined pieces from over 30 renowned artists along with historical artwork from SEGA’s archives.
It looks like they're asking for artists to submit tribute pieces too.
Coinciding with the art show is the Sonic Live In Concert
In fact, it takes place in LA the first night of the art show!
It's headed our way and you can grab tickets now. Not entirely sure how it's the U.S. Premiere concert taking place after 4 others will have taken place in the U.S., but there calling it that, maybe because someone screwed up the merch? Traditionally, a premiere is where a series like a play, movie or concert starts its run.
Exhibition on display Sept 26 to Oct 11, 2026. Tuesdays - Sundays 12:00 PM - 8:00 PM (closed Mondays)
