The World of Yayoi Kusama @West
Yayoi Kusama has been called the most important living Japanese artist, the world's best-selling female artist, and the world's most successful living artist—and the princess of polka dots. For seven decades, Kusama has explored infinity in a variety of media: paintings, mixed media artwork, mirror rooms, and sculptures, including her celebrated polka dot-covered pumpkins.
Herencia Guantanamera Haiti @West
Herencia Guantanamera is bringing the rhythms of Eastern Cuba, with the crossover influence of Haitian culture, to celebrate and share this rich Afro-Caribbean cultural heritage with Berkeley kids and families.
