Wonmi’s WAREHOUSE Programs

Wonmi’s WAREHOUSE Programs is MOCA’s signature platform dedicated to showcasing live art at the intersection of artistic forms, experimentation, and public engagement.

Housed in an iconic industrial building at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, WAREHOUSE provides space for works that defy categorization and celebrates live art as an integral part of contemporary expression. The series presents and premieres newly commissioned works, music festivals, and residencies that foreground sensorial experience centered on the body, movement, and sound. Synonymous with innovation and risk, WAREHOUSE offers artists and audiences a truly unique museum experience, one that is unexpected, visceral, and alive.

Featuring four performances by female-identifying artists–Lenio Kaklea, Diane Severin Nguyen, Odeya Nini, and Mindy Seu–the Winter 2025-26 season includes US and West Coast premieres and is anchored by major commissions from Kaklea and Nguyen. Spanning dance, lecture performance, vocal experimentation, and a protest concert, these artists offer polyphonic responses to just some of the dualities that coexist in our current moment: technology and the body, the material and the ephemeral, nostalgia and futurity, autonomy and oppression.
