JOURNEY (a collaboration of photographs and music)

This exhibition of black & white and color photographs at the Mojica Hacienda in Santa Monica, CA, was a special collaborative event highlighted with the music of Australian composer Mark B. Buys to reflect on the historic origins and influence of the early Mexico-California region. The reception hosted a premier performance of Mr. Buys’ music composed specifically for this event.

The Mojica Hacienda in Santa Monica Canyon is home to the La Senora Research Institute. Their research focuses on the Rancho Era of early California under Spain, Mexico and the United States and the 1839 Mexican Land Grant of the Rancho Boca de Santa Monica.

Mr. Buys graciously provided this 8-minute live recording of his music:
