DESCRIPTION:Gallery Chats at OMCA\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\nAngela Davis — Seize the Time\, examines the image\, influence\, and activism of the Oakland-based icon and opens Friday\, Oct. 7 and will be on view until June 11\, 2023. \n\n\n\nTraveling to the West Coast for the first time after its debut at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University\, Seize the Time offers a deeper look into the life of Angela Davis through the lens of race\, gender\, economics\, and policy. \n\n\n\nWith a focus on her arrest\, incarceration\, trial\, and the national and international campaigns to free her\, Seize the Time will highlight Davis’s legacy as well as her ongoing role as an important contemporary figure for artists and activists. The exhibition will feature a range of powerful material\, including contemporary and historical artworks\, media\, literature\, sketches\, rare manuscripts of Davis’s philosophical and activist writings\, and a dedicated archive on Angela Davis drawn from the Lisbet Tellefsen collection. \n\n\n\nUsing the Angela Davis archive as both the heart of the exhibition and a source\, visitors are given the opportunity to investigate how we remember\, preserve\, and activate radical Black history\, while also allowing us to re-imagine the construction of the image of Davis as an icon of American Black radical resistance\, female empowerment\, and a threat to the white patriarchal status quo. \n\n\n\n\nReserve Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAngela Davis – Seize the Time is organized by the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University.
