Kelly Akashi Celebrates Altadena's Resilience with Art Installation Post-Wildfires
Artist Kelly Akashi hosted a two-day installation and performance in Altadena, Los Angeles, to celebrate the community's resilience following the devastating 2025 wildfires. The event, titled 'Field Set', took place on the site of Akashi's former home and studio, which were destroyed in the fires. The installation featured salvaged materials, hand-blown glass orbs, and a replanted garden, symbolizing new growth and recovery. The event was supported by the Los Angeles Nomadic Division and included performances by local musicians, drawing hundreds of visitors, many of whom were also affected by the wildfires.
