SUMMARY:Member Bonus Reciprocity Week at MOAD
DESCRIPTION:Friday Nights at OMCA with The Whoadees and Special Guests\n\n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us in a celebratory partnership between the Oakland Museum of California and the Museum of African Diaspora (MoAD) with this bonus reciprocity week-long event!  \n\n\n\nFrom December 9–14\, OMCA Members enjoy free admission reciprocity to MoAD for 2 guests per membership.  \n\n\n\nNot a Member yet? Join Today! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCurrent Exhibitions\n\n\n\nContinuum: MoAD Over Time marks the 20th anniversary of the Museum of the African Diaspora. More than a retrospective\, Continuum presents MoAD’s impact on the Bay Area’s cultural landscape and reveals its growing global reach. Through archival materials\, artworks\, and stories from programs like the Emerging Artist Program and MoAD in the Classroom\, the exhibition honors MoAD’s legacy as a catalyst for Black creativity. Organized thematically and chronologically\, it traces the museum’s evolution and invites reflection on its expanding role in shaping the art of the African Diaspora. \n\n\n\nUNBOUND: Art\, Blackness & the Universe explores the intersections of Blackness and the cosmos. Curated by Key Jo Lee\, MoAD’s Chief of Curatorial Affairs and Public Programs\, the exhibition reimagines Blackness as infinite\, mysterious\, and cosmically rich. Featuring global artists such as Lorna Simpson\, Rashaad Newsome\, Gustavo Nazareno\, Harmonia Rosales\, and Didier William\, the show spans painting\, sculpture\, installation\, and video. Organized around three themes\, Geo-Cartographic\, Religio-Mythic\, and Techno-Cyborgian\, UNBOUND moves through earthly and celestial terrains. More than an exhibition\, it is a philosophical and sensory inquiry that invites visitors to imagine Blackness as a boundless\, creative cosmology of transformation and becoming. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor gallery admission\, simply present your OMCA membership card at the Visitor Experience welcome counter and enjoy.   \n\n\n\nQuestion or comments? Please contact us at membership@museumca.org or 510-318-8520. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReturn to Events\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Daria Lugina/BAMPFA
