Artists Against the Bomb opens Friday, October 16, 2026.
Feb 19, 2026 1–2 PM
Join UMOCA Curator Jared Steffensen for Art Fitness, a conversation-driven experience that helps viewers slow down, ask questions, and form their own interpretations of art.
This session will focus on Altered States in the Acid West, an exhibition exploring the acid western genre of the 1970s—a time when countercultural movements challenged inherited narratives of the American West. These films upended familiar Western myths through psychedelia, surreal imagery, and spiritual inquiry, portraying the West as a disorienting and visionary terrain rather than a predictable land of destiny.
