Check back regularly so you don't miss out on our latest event recommendations. Here are this week's L.A. picks.
DEBT Assembly | August 18, recommended by Nicholas Korody
Student debt is one of the most profound issues affecting the architectural discipline right now. While the average student debt for a US American student is $29,400, according to a recent poll by the American Institute of Architecture Students, architecture students graduate with an average of $40,000 in loans. Head out to this event to learn more about strategies to mitigate and resist debt through collective action.
Town Hall: Feelings vs Facts | August 19, recommended by Amelia Taylor-Hochberg
The first experiment in what the A+D hopes will be a new event series, "Town Hall" aims to cut away the fat from so many panel discussions and lectures, and get straight to the meat. In this case, it's putting phenomenology and data science right on the table of architecture discourse, and letting everyone lay into it.
Questionable History | Opening on August 21, recommended by Alexander Walter
Coinciding with the 55th anniversary of the summer when the Berlin Wall—and subsequently the Iron Curtain—went up, Questionable History invites visitors to look inside museum practices and discuss how public knowledge and memory is also shaped by what we do not know. The Wende Museum hosts one of the most impressive collections of Cold War art, culture, and history from the former German Democratic Republic and its eventual dissolution following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Guillermo del Toro—At Home with Monsters | Open now until November 27, recommended by Justine Testado

Pan's Labyrinth. Hellboy. The Devil's Backbone. Crimson Peak. You probably know who Guillermo del Toro is, right? LACMA recently opened an exhibition fully dedicated to the Hollywood filmmaker's fantastical work and his creative process. Exploring all things of the occult, the exhibition showcases an array of del Toro's drawings, artifacts, concept art, and more.
