DESCRIPTION:Your browser does not support the video tag.\n            \n		\n		            \n				                    \n\n				                Your browser does not support the video tag.\n            \n		\n    \n\n    \n        \n            \nFirst Sundays\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\n \n\n\n\nThird-generation Bay Area filmmaker\, artist\, and author\, Adrian L. Burrell will present select works from his first monograph\, Sugarcane & Lighting (Minor Matters\, 2023) and his latest short film\, The Saints Step in Kongo Time. \n\n\n\nThe book and film\, along with two recent solo exhibitions in 2023 in San Jose and San Francisco\, respectively\, are all part of an ongoing research project visualizing Burrell’s family’s experiences with plantocracy and sugar production after the Louisiana Purchase. Images span Senegal to Jim Crow Louisiana to modern-day Oakland through archival and contemporary photographs\, dispelling long-held tropes of the realizations of the American Dream.   \n\n\n\nBurrell is motivated by possibilities of healing the past\, as well as realizing what may be envisioned in the present and future.  \n\n\n\nA conversation with OMCA’s Deputy Director of Curatorial Affairs\, Makeda Best\, will follow the presentation. Burrell’s book will be available for purchase and signing.  \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public with advanced registration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGET TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Adrian Burrell\n\n\n\nAdrian Burrell (b. 1990\, Oakland\, California) is a third-generation Oakland artist utilizing photography\, film\, installation and experimental media.
