Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind

Yoko Ono's first Southern California museum survey, spanning seven decades of instruction works, peace activism, film, and participatory installations.

Why go

Organized by Tate Modern and curated by Juliet Bingham, this survey invites direct participation in Ono's transformative works—from early instruction pieces and anti-war campaigns to the iconic *Cut Piece* (1964), plus a site-specific *Wish Trees* installation on the Broad's plaza.

What to expect

Instruction works from the 1950s onward, including typescript drafts of *Grapefruit* (1964); materials from peace campaigns like *Acorn Event* (1968) and *Bed Peace* (1969); film and video documentation; contemporary installations; and a living participatory work where visitors tie wishes to olive trees on the plaza.
