Great New Exhibit at Japanese American National Museum
Have you seen the OOMO Cube, a new installation in front of the Japanese American National Museum? If you haven’t you must! OOMO stands for ‘Out Of Many One’. OOMO is a new project going up across Los Angeles. The goal of OOMO is to remind everyone that they all belong to one world, one LA, and one humanity. Sounds like a Mixed Remixed principle! – Heidi Durrow
