Living leaves behind pieces, our personal archive of memories and recorded memories. In “Excerpts and Fragments,” a new exhibition presented by the Los Angeles Department of Nomads, artist Paul Mpagi Sipuya examines fragments of life through three modes of practice: zine, books, and photographs. Through these documents, the viewer travels through Sepoy’s memory as he travels through New York and beyond in search of his artistic path and creative vision. Through this show, Sepoya offers a window into friendship, shared communities and personal growth. Open from November 8 to December 21. 2413 Hyperion Ave.Los Angeles. nomadicdivision.org

Hot off the heels of his viral Katsi collaboration, Gap turns to the girl with a new collaboration with Sandy Liang. Inspired by Liang’s memories at Gap in the ’90s and 2000s, the collection features low-rise jeans, fuzzy coats and zip-up cropped jackets that look like they came straight out of a Y2K catalog.

Adidas Originals x Miao New Collection

In a windy desert, Gabbert lifts his toe for a ride, running like a boxer in black mesh shoes. She wears Adidas and LA brand Miaou’s first collection, inspired by vintage biker style and West Coast women’s clothing. The Mesh Meow boot is low to the ground and low on its three-stripe detailing, leather heel and metal zipper. In footwear, apparel and accessories, elements of branding, athleticism and rebellious eloquence are woven through collaborations between iconic brands and bright-eyed newcomers. There is in adidas.com On November 11.

California photographer Jasmine Ross is holding her first solo show at Sunset House LA—“Beauty Plus”—which serves as a memorial and tribute to the shuttered black hair supply store in New Haven, Conn., which for years was a center of conversation, growth, and formative memory. Ross, a Yale graduate with deep family roots in L.A., paints a picture of “physical and emotional scars left in place,” she writes. “Cracked sculptures, faded mirrors and thatched roofs all tell stories of work, love and community.” Opening reception on November 8th. By appointment only at Sunset House LA until November 15th. 8923 W. Sunset Blvd. los angeles sunsethousela.com

Pantha Abarishi in Human Resources

In sexual art, the disabled body is often not music. For disabled artist Panteha Abarishi, this expectation is shattered as she presents her desire and physical experience to be analyzed and examined in “CAREOTICS: Giving and Taking” in the field of human resources. Abarshi’s work comments on the nourishment and evaluation of disabled bodies and encourages viewers to reflect on their discomfort and joy. “CAREOTICS” features multimedia stimuli, from a film of Abarishi in a hospital bed to latex gloves printed with the words “This touch is your most painful and most horrible pleasure.” Open until November 16 in Human Resources. 410 Cottage Home St., Los Angeles. hr.la

The family is like a tapestry, stitched together into a continuous story despite different textures and experiences. At least that’s how Carmen Argot sees it. In her international exhibition, “gajes del oficio”, Argot collaborates with her mother to sew large scrolls, tapestries and dresses to honor the family tradition of embroidery as a means of financial independence and freedom for immigrants. Each stitched and intricate cover documents the quiet, underappreciated work of women in male-dominated households and industries. Open at Patzer’s through December 6. 1050 N. Mills Ave., Claremont. pitzer.edu

Marilyn Minter at The Reagan Projects

Marilyn Minter, Lizo Odalisque 2023-2025. Enamel on metal. Artwork dimensions: 60 x 96 x 2 inches (152.4 x 243.8 x 5.1 cm).

Marilyn Minter, a powerhouse of modern stylized portraiture, presents her fourth solo exhibition with The Reagan Project. Minter’s large paintings engage the viewer with a familiar face, whether it’s Nick Cave or Lizzo, in a cheerful smile, or a sultry look, in a sophisticated enamel painting technique that combines a soft, gray black color with the bold, saturated features of diverse figures. In addition to displaying images, Munter’s show has a decidedly political perspective, with artist Philip Guston taking cues from KKK imagery with symbols of white-hooded terror as he draws parallels with the modern MAGA hat. Clever, yet edgy, the Mentor exhibit begs to be discussed. Open through the Reagan Project December 20. 6750 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles. regenprojects.com

Lately, news of the removal or toppling of statues representing black American history has been everywhere. But after they are removed, where do they go? Enter “Remembrance,” an exhibition organized and presented by Geffen Contemporary at MOCA and Brick that features these deconstructed sculptures, still sprinkled with graffiti as reminders of their conflict. These pieces are presented in dialogue with contemporary works from artists such as Caron Davis to Kara Walker. The exhibition appeals to America’s ever-changing relationship to its histories and the influential figures who have shaped them, for better or worse. Showing now through May 3. 250 S. Grand Ave., Los Angeles; and 518 N. Western Ave., Los Angeles. moca.org, the-brick.org
