Du Bois’ prolific statistical work by using interactive data visualizations created by Oakland based artists to illustrate trajectories impacted by both pro and anti-Black futures. Exhibit A is supported by participating policy makers and city workers from critical sectors including leaders from the Department of Race and Equity and is an expression of Oakland’s community. \n\n\n\nBetween digital interfaces\, augmented reality experiences\, and interactive workshops designed to spark conversation and critical engagement\, this experience is one meant to be amplified. \n\n\n\nParticipants are enlisted to engage their own friends through social media by sharing images of the art and their response to it\, and offering visions and forecasts for the future of Oakland. \n\n\n\nThe community dialogue will be moderated by journalist and host of Hard Knock Radio DJ Davey D and educator\, community leader\, and Exhibit A co-producer\, Hodari Davis. Interspersed between dialogue will be musical stylings and performances by CEO and founder of Edutainment for Equity and Exhibit A co-producer\, Candice Wicks-Davis (also known as Mama Candice)\, and several Oakland favorites.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReserve tickets\n\n\n\nMember tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT EXHIBIT A\n\n\n\nExhibit A employs the power of statistics and data visualization\, and casts the city of Oakland into the future to give a glimpse of what continued anti-Black models can bring and what futures are possible if such anti-Black structures are resisted. \n\n\n\nThis project is meant to be jumping off point for deeper conversations about the nature and direction of Oakland in general and in Black life in Oakland specifically. The project produced by Hodari Davis and hosted by Edutainment for Equality is happening in partnership with the City of Oakland Department of Race and Equity\, the City of Oakland Department of Arts and Culture and is situated within a larger network of several Oakland based Organizations. Exhibit A\,  though firmly rooted in the Oakland community and dedicated to issues of anti-blackness facing communities here in the Bay Area\, is also intended to develop and expand beyond and impact the broader political mythos that institutional racism does not exist in the United States. \n\n\n\n\nReturn to Events URL:https://museumca.org/event/exhibit-a-a-townhall-on-anti-blackness-in-oakland/ LOCATION:James Moore Theater CATEGORIES:Conversation / Lecture,Free ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://museumca.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/image2-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240405T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240405T190000 DTSTAMP:20260410T032906 CREATED:20240229T234834Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240822T001251Z UID:10000261-1712332800-1712343600@museumca.org SUMMARY:Friday Nights at OMCA\nSpecial Members Lounge DESCRIPTION:First 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\nCalling all Members!

Highlighting the ancestral roots of the Punjabi dance while pushing boundaries with contemporary influences\, Non Stop Bhangra is a genre-busting elixir of North Indian Bhangra music and dance\, mixed with reggae\, hip-hop\, and electronica. Featuring dance lessons and dance performances with Dholrhythms Dance Company\, an ever evolving and eclectic mix of DJs\, live drummers\, and guest musicians\, it’s a treat for the eyes and ears and a one-of-a-kind experience only found in the Bay Area. \n\n\n\n\n\nBlack has always loved music and while growing up in Houston\, she started collecting records. When she moved to the Bay Area in 1991\, Black brought her records and a dream of doing music. She recalls seeing Chris C. and Pam the Funkstress perform\, and knew then that she wanted to be a female DJ. Black learned her craft 30 years ago from Sexy DJ at The Catch One in Los Angeles. Nadeeah helped her hone her skills and taught her how to get gigs. She has played alongside DJs including MAW\, Fuse\, Digit\, J Boogie\, Rusty Lazer\, and Trackademicks.
