Opening August 5, “Deconstructing Liberty: A Destiny Manifested” is part of “Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA,” a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles. Through performance, installation, video, and photography, artists present concepts of the importance of American liberty, and some may challenge ideas traditionally associated with these liberties as they resonate in forms of collective identity across the globe.
