One perk of living in Washington, D.C. is popping into world class museums even if it’s just for a few minutes. Here are a few photos from a 30-minute detour at @AmericanArt and @SmithsonianNPG between work meetings, including seeing @GKStudio’s “Bridge” inside the Luce Foundation Center.

As we are counting down to our Leading with Love Community Gathering in the garden on 10/4 to honor Michael and celebrate our grantees I was reminded of his post sharing his time there - “Meditative and joyful Sundays spent at The Underground Museum viewing the art of the late Noah Davis and enjoying the sun and surroundings outside in the Purple Garden…. One of my favorite places in Los Angeles for so many years. It’s such a beautiful, healing, vibrant and rich space.” We look forward to connecting with you there next Sunday.

Playing John Lennon in original “opera” about Yoko Ono’s life by @eucademix was a dream I didn’t even know I had. So beautiful to meet and work with so many incredible musicians/artists/humans that I’d never met before and some whom i had. Also it was psychedelic and nerve-wracking playing one of my heroes. I couldn’t really find examples of John performing without guitar or piano (plz send me youtubes if you know of any) but I did notice that he always chewed gum when he performed. Glad I get a second chance on Friday to do it again at Walker Arts Center in Minneapolis. 💖✨💖

I AM YOKO SHOW at Zipper Hall — 9/19/2026

Every show I perform is important to me, but “I AM YOKO” carried an especially profound weight. It is more than a project. It has become a mission.

It would have been impossible without the incredible team I was blessed with.

Thank you to my brilliant performers: Theo Bleckmann, Macie Stewart, Toth, Emi Helfrich, Glenn Kaino, Devra Hoff, Jason Lindner, Maggie Parkins, Nels Cline & Alex Cline and Rila Fukushima. You brought not only your superb skills, but so much love and kindness.

Thank you to The Broad, the parent of this project, for believing in me. Ed Patuto & Darin Klein, thank you for your love and trust; Jana Juhl & Sara Phoenix for your impeccable administration; and Pierce Walker & Eva Seta for helping bring the show into the world.

Mark Leucke, thank you for single-handedly handling the audio production. To make this show with a Cibo Matto crew member with whom I once toured America in a van felt deeply symbolic. Having you there supported my psyche in a place deeper than I can put into words.

Thank you to the Zipper Hall/Colburn team: David Mencos, Francesco Perlangeli, Victor Pineda & the entire crew. I couldn’t have asked for a better home for our first incarnation.

Glenn Kaino, thank you for the cool videos and extra funding. Corey Lynn Carter, thank you for your beautiful work on the costumes.

Thank you James Ferrell for filming Oracle scene. Thank you August for your help with projection.

Most importantly, thank you, Yoko, for all the inspiration. You changed the world, and it is still changing through your messages. My profound thanks to the family and estate—Kyoko, Sean & Connor Monahan—for trusting me. I love you so so so much.

Thank you to everyone who came and experienced “I AM YOKO” with us. I felt your presence and openness. You made it to a full show by being Yoko. Much love to you!

I began wanting to tell Yoko’s extraordinary story. Somewhere along the way, the project began telling me why her story still needs to be told.

This ship is now in the ocean. I’m excited to feel what lies ahead.

Next: Walker Art Center this Friday.

LA, don’t miss…

YOU THINK YOU KNOW YOKO ONO?

In this first-look musical presentation of OCEAN CHILD: I AM YOKO, as an audience member you get to become Yoko Ono (@yokoono), the cultural icon who defies expectations and surface-level categorizations. Take a deep dive into Ono’s life, from her childhood and travels across continents to her relationships and artistic evolution.

Written, designed, directed, and performed by musician Yuka Honda (@eucademix) and artist Glenn Kaino (@gkstudio), OCEAN CHILD: I AM YOKO is a work-in-progress experiment which encourages us to embody Ono’s complexity, not just observe it.

In this presentation, they are joined by an ensemble of renowned musicians and vocalists, including Alex Cline, Devra Hoff (devra_hoff), Jason Lindner (@flymyspcshp), Macie Stewart (@maciestewart), Maggie Parkins (@maggie.parkins), Theo Bleckmann (@theobleckmann), Nels Cline (@nelscline), Tōth
(@tothtunes), and Emi Helfrich (@emilyhelfo).
Presented in conjunction with the special exhibition, Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind. Your ticket to the show includes admission to see the exhibition.

🕢7:30 PM to 9 PM
