The City of West Hollywood is excited to announce its upcoming “Artists & Icons” event, scheduled for October 16, 2024, at 6 p. m. , featuring a discussion between renowned artist Nancy Baker Cahill and abolitionist Patrisse Cullors. This free event will take place in the City’s Council Chambers, with limited seating, and an RSVP is encouraged to secure a spot. The evening will also mark the unveiling of Cahill's newly commissioned public artwork, _Body Politic_, which will be displayed on three digital billboards along the iconic Sunset Strip starting October 1, 2024.

This work will be significant as it incorporates augmented reality, allowing viewers to engage with the artwork through the _4th Wall_ app. _Body Politic_ aims to provoke thought on critical issues such as body sovereignty, data rights, and voting rights, aligning with the City’s efforts to encourage civic engagement and voter participation. The event will be broadcast live on WeHoTV, ensuring broader access for those unable to attend in person. Additionally, parking validation will be offered for the adjacent West Hollywood Park structure, providing convenience for attendees. More details about the event and the artwork can be found on the City’s official website.
