Following the screening\, join Mildred Howard\, MYL3Z\, and Delency Parham for a conversation moderated by Dr. Ameer Hasan Loggins\, professor of Black Studies at UC Berkeley\, on intergenerational relationships\, the role of the archive\, and their experiences as interdisciplinary artists. \n\n\n\nAbout Memories in Motion:  \n\n\n\nThis film traces the spaces\, moments\, and relationships that have shaped artist Mildred Howard across eight decades of life rooted in the East Bay. Moving from her Berkeley childhood home to the neighborhood where she raised her twins\, and through the cities that now hold her public works\, Memories in Motion: Selected Stories of Mildred Howard shows how Howard’s art grows directly from the communities\, places\, and experiences that surround her. In doing so\, the film places Howard within a lineage of Black women whose everyday lives form a vital artistic and intellectual tradition. By revealing how Howard’s personal life is foundational to her artistic practice\, the film resists drawing a line between Mildred the artist and Mildred the person—showing how her roles as mother\, grandmother\, food connoisseur\, music lover\, and mentor are essential to the creative life she has built. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGALLERY ACTIVITIES\n\n\n\nKORET PLAZA | LOWER LEVEL12:00–4:00 pm Pick up a Juneteenth gallery guide and explore our galleries to learn more about Black changemakers and collectives from the Bay Area. \n\n\n\nGREAT HALL | MID LEVEL*1:00-2:00 pm Join us for a special edition of Gallery Chats inside Mildred Howard: Poetics of Memory led by author and Professor of African American and African Diaspora Studies\, Leigh Raiford. In this informal conversation\, Raiford will draw from her personal and professional experiences with Howard’s life\, art practice\, and this unique exhibition. The first major show to celebrate the artist’s work\, this project explores memory\, identity\, and the African American experience. Raiford will interweave her own in-depth knowledge and background in teaching\, researching\, curating\, and writing about Black visuality. This Gallery Chat will invite visitors to reflect on how personal memory and collective history shape the broader stories that define us through the lens of this beloved Bay Area artist. \n\n\n\nALL GALLERIES | LOWER\, MID\, UPPER LEVELS1:00-3:00 pm Moving beyond the traditional museum tour\, Gallery Chats invite visitors to engage in conversation\, ask questions\, and connect with OMCA facilitators who blend content expertise with lived experience to spark meaningful dialogue and new perspectives.

Singer-songwriter Madison McFerrin thinks so. Her sophomore album\, SCORPIO\, takes its name from her sign and its three phases (scorpion\, eagle\, and phoenix) which parallel her personal evolution since her 2023 debut\, I Hope You can Forgive Me.  \nFor Madison\, love—specifically self-love—is a revealer of truths. It’s this album’s inspiration: “I truly believe that I went through it because I’ve created art that’s going to change my life.” SCORPIO is what it sounds like when the stars align. \n\n				\n				\n            \n\n        \n\n    \n	\n        \n            \n\n			                \n                                    \n			\n            \n				\n				                    Daghe\n				\n				                    DAGHE is a multi-hyphenate creative\, cultural strategist\, music producer\, DJ\, and visual storyteller. His work moves across sound\, media\, community\, and outdoor culture\, held together less by category and more by instinct. He understands how people gather\, move\, and connect\, and that shapes how he works. \nHis approach to DJing carries that same instinct into real time. Tempo awareness\, cultural fluency\, a feel for the room’s energy and where it needs to go.
