Member Preview for Black Spaces: Reclaim & Remain
Member Preview Hours
July 17 from 11:00 am – 4:30 pm
You’re invited to the Member Opening for OMCA’s newest exhibition! Black Spaces: Reclaim & Remain navigates the braided histories of displacement, resistance, and resilience within Black American communities in Oakland and the East Bay. Through works from the OMCA permanent collection alongside new commissions by artist Adrian Burrell, architect June Grant with blinkLAB architecture, as well as the Archive of Urban Futures and Moms 4 Housing, the exhibition traces how Black communities have creatively resisted dispossession and reimagined spaces of home and belonging. Reserved tickets are highly encouraged but not required for Member Preview Hours.
