Member Preview for Black Spaces: Reclaim & Remain
Member Preview Hours
July 17 from 11:00 am – 5:00 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; and the Archive of Urban Futures with 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.
Don’t miss the opening celebration Thursday, November 7, 6-9 pm. We will be convening with the curators and collaborators who have helped make this exhibition possible. Join us for light bites, live music, and a cash bar. RSVP required.
