The Broad museum in Los Angeles will present 'Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind' in spring 2026, marking the artist's first solo museum exhibition in Southern California. Organized in collaboration with Tate Modern, London, the show spans Ono's seven-decade career across visual art, music, and activism, featuring participatory works like 'Wish Trees for Los Angeles' on the East West Bank Plaza and materials from her peace campaigns with John Lennon, including 'Acorn Event' (1968) and 'Bed Peace' (1969).
This exhibition matters because it brings Yoko Ono's foundational contributions to conceptual art and Fluxus to a major U.S. audience at a time when her emphasis on community, participation, and activism resonates strongly. By transforming everyday actions into art and inviting visitors to co-create, the show underscores Ono's enduring influence on contemporary culture and her belief that imagination can be a collective force for peace and change.
