Routed West: Twentieth-Century African American Quilts in California 

Routed West: Twentieth-Century African American Quilts in California traces the flow and flourishing of quilts in the context of the Second Great Migration through approximately one hundred quilts representing the work of eighty individuals, many of them women. It is the first group show drawn from a transformative bequest of African American quilts that the museum received in 2019.

Guided tours offered on 8/27 and 8/31 are first come, first serve as there are no reservations. Please arrive at least 30 minutes in advance.

Lee ShinJa: Drawing with Thread

Lee ShinJa: Drawing with Thread is the first North American survey of the work of the historically under-recognized Korean artist Lee ShinJa (b. 1930, Uljin, South Korea; lives and works in Seoul). Spanning more than five decades, from the 1950s to the early 2000s, the exhibition showcases the artist’s bold innovations in fiber through forty monumental textile works, woven maquettes, and preparatory sketches.

MATRIX 287 / Berenice Olmedo: To ti ên einai

MATRIX 287 / Berenice Olmedo: To ti ên einai is the first museum exhibition in the United States for artist Berenice Olmedo (b. 1987, Oaxaca, Mexico; lives and works in Mexico City). Olmedo’s intimate yet commanding anthropomorphic assemblages with fused prostheses and orthotics urge a reconsideration of standardized expectations of bodies.

For gallery admission, simply present your OMCA membership card at the Visitor Experience welcome counter and enjoy.
