ReflectSpace\, in partnership with the Get ty Conservation Institute\, presents \;Alta / A Human Atlas of the City of Angels\, an internationally acclaimed social impact project by UK-based artist Marcus Lyon. The exhibition weaves together portraiture \, personal narratives\, and ancestral DNA data to map LA&rsquo\;s layered identities through the lives of 100 Angelenos who have made significant c ontributions to the city. On view May 9 through July 12\, 2026\, \;Alta \;offers a powerful\, community-centered exploration of mig ration\, belonging\, and the evolving human story of the city. \;
\ nInitially created in collaboration with the Getty Conservation Institu te for PST ART: \;Art &\; Science Collide\, \;Alta&nbs p\;is part of Lyon&rsquo\;s ongoing \;Human Atlas \;serie s\, which merges art\, anthropology\, and storytelling to document human g eography. While connected to a global framework\, this iteration remains d eeply rooted in Los Angeles\, highlighting the communities and individuals who define the city today and shaping an archive for future generations.< /p>\n
