The Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery and the Barnsdall Art Park Foundation are partnering to accentuate multimedia explorations with _To View a Plastic Flower_. Abigail Raphael Collins, T.Kim-Trang Tran, and Samira Yamin are set to feature their work from video installation series to 3-D artwork all on display at the center of Los Angeles. To View a Plastic Flower unravels positionality, identity, and the artistic interpretation of conflict. This breathes forth the idea of “inter-being”, internationally ascribed by Buddhist monk, Thích Nhất Hạnh, into theory and practice.

LA-based, T.Kim-Trang Tran, will combine digital and physical artwork by utilizing hand-embroidered screens to project Movements: Battles and Solidarity that bring light to everything from high fashion to the Vietnam War. Easily honoring _To View a Plastic Flower_’s peaceful resonance and prompting the synonymous clash of geopolitics. Abigail Raphael Collins’ documentary, _Out of Play,_ will deeply analyze the marriage between the entertainment industry and the United States military. Samira Yamin’s _Refractions Series_ will display sculptural pieces that shed light on the mind-altering effects of war photography.
