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: The Life and Art 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.

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.

To create their multidimensional music\, St. Juste and Ehara are joined by four remarkable bandmates: drummer Chris Thalmann\, keyboard/synth player Mahesh Rao\, percussionist Mirza Kopelman\, and sampler Kumar Butler. They take inspiration from across the musical spectrum; their individual influences range from recognizable artists (Erykah Badu\, Jai Paul\, James Blake\, Radiohead\, and Broadcast) to genres and eras that don’t initially appear to fit together (Hip-Hop\, indie rock\, early electronica\, and 70’s dub). Their unique alchemy of seemingly disparate sounds has led fans and critics alike to describe the band as defying categorization. \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n About Nikki Diamonds\n \n Nikki is a proud queer Nicaraguan/Samoan DJ\, born and raised in the San Francisco Mission District. Her core memories are wrapped around listening to music with her nana and mom—those moments that shaped everything they know about the power of a good song. For Nikki\, community means everything. The joy she feels being surrounded by family and friends\, listening to music\, and dancing\, is what freedom looks like to them.\n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n About Nora Gomperts and Leo Orringer\n \n Nora Gomperts and Leo Orringer met each other on the dance floor at Sundance Saloon two days after Nora got to town\, and later found themselves teaching line dance together at Scuff. They recently started their own community event in Oakland to offer more opportunities for advanced line dance learning and practice. Nora is currently on the board of Starlight Strut\, and both Nora and Leo are in a performance group called The Heartstompers. \n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsors\n\n\n\nFriday Nights at OMCA with Off the Grid is sponsored by the Oakland Museum Women’s Board and Bank of America.
