Exhibition Walk-through: Uhengaparaoa, Taonga Tuku Iho: Ancestral Gifts and Contemporary Māori Art has enough weekend energy to earn a spot on the board.

Free

An hour with the people who assembled the show is the fastest way into a body of work most Los Angeles visitors will not have seen before: Whakatōhea weaving set beside an ancestral cloak from the Fowler's own collection. It is free, it is an hour, and it falls on the Sunday of Indigenous Peoples' Day weekend.

What to expect

A one-hour guided walk-through of the galleries led by the exhibition's curators, with time on individual works and the histories attached to them.
