Spotlight Sundays: Cultural Burn Practices and the Future of Fire

Spotlight Sundays invites guests to an in-depth conversation about the future of fire through the lens of Indigenous fire practices. Corrina Gould of Sogorea Te’ Land Trust will lead a conversation with Jordan Reyes and Patty Franklin of Tribal EcoRestoration Alliance. The discussion will illuminate how fire is an essential component of Native lifeways, affirms tribal sovereignty, and is a critical element for healthy California ecosystems. Learn what it means to be a steward of the land and how Native fire practitioners are increasing their efforts to build a more sustainable future with fire in California.

CURRENT EXHIBITIONS & features

Exposición Gran Sala Good Fire: Tending Native Lands

Good Fire: Tending Native Lands explores how Native communities in Northern California have used controlled fire—also called “good fire” or “cultural burning”—to care for the land and sustain traditions for millennia. Organized in collaboration with Native California fire practitioners, artists, ecologists, and cultural leaders, the exhibition reframes fire not only as a destructive force, but as an essential tool for supporting healthy ecosystems and vibrant communities.

Destacado Galería histórica Students on Strike

Students on Strike is a new installation opening in the OMCA Gallery of California History. The installation explores the enduring legacy of student activism at San Francisco State University by comparing the 1968-1969 student strike that established the nation’s first Black Studies Department and first College of Ethnic Studies to the recent campus protests against the war in Gaza. Through historical and contemporary posters and photographs, the intimate feature shows how students have consistently demanded justice and accountability from institutions, then and now.

Destacado Galería de arte Recoger un momento

Esta selección de nuevas incorporaciones a la colección de la OMCA pone de relieve el arte y la cultura del momento e ilumina la historia en ciernes. Las obras de la instalación son el resultado del nuevo proceso de coleccionismo del OMCA, que trata de responder a cuestiones de actualidad que afectan a las comunidades de Oakland y California. Representando un alejamiento de las prioridades de coleccionismo museístico más tradicionales, Collecting the Moment muestra algunas de las formas en que centramos nuestras relaciones institucionales con diversos grupos y voces de la comunidad. Esta instalación continua y cambiante revelará algunas de las muchas formas en que los artistas, activistas y otras personas de California reclaman un espacio cultural, cuestionan las normas sociales, adquieren poder y se enfrentan a las grandes cuestiones de nuestro tiempo.
