Join Cami Árboles for a night of art, music, and dance! Enjoy a night of art and dancing fueled by the artistry of Los Angeles-based artist Cami Árboles and inspired by current exhibition "Women in Focus." This powerful exhibition demonstrates the pivotal role women have played in photography since its invention in the 1830s, showcasing diverse perspectives on identity, autonomy, and representation. The night will feature a captivating performance that brings together yoga, flexibility, and dance combined with opera singing to showcase the power and versatility of the female form. Árboles’ performance piece draws directly from the themes of "Women in Focus," reimagining them through embodied gestures that speak to resilience, sensuality, and the multiplicity of womanhood. Come for the live performance, stay for the full experience. Enjoy a drink from the cash bar, take a stroll through the exhibition, and stay to dance and let loose with music by DJs. Cami Árboles is a multidisciplinary artist and movement educator born and raised in Los Angeles. She is a graduate of Yale University, where she studied and trained extensively in classical voice, opera, and live performance. Her background in vocal performance and physical theater deeply informs her current work, which explores the body as a site of ritual, resistance, and transformation. Árboles is the founder of Mind Body Spirit Collective (MBSC), an international movement platform centering pole dance, yoga, and somatic healing through community. Cami draws from diverse disciplines to create immersive, embodied experiences about womanhood and the female form.
