Member Preview Evening Celebration for Black Spaces: Reclaim & Remain

 Member Preview Celebration

July 17 from 6:00 pm 9:00 pm

Free for Members

Don’t miss the opening celebration for OMCA’s newest exhibition! Black Spaces: Reclaim & Remain navigates the braided histories of displacement, resistance, and resilience within Black American communities in Oakland and the East Bay. Through works from the OMCA permanent collection alongside new commissions by artist Adrian Burrell; architect June Grant with blinkLAB architecture; and the Archive of Urban Futures with Moms 4 Housing, the exhibition traces how Black communities have creatively resisted dispossession and reimagined spaces of home and belonging.

We will be celebrating with the curators and collaborators who have helped make this exhibition possible. Join us for light bites, live music, and a cash bar.

RSVP required for the evening celebration. Capacity is limited. QUESTIONS? Email [email protected] or call 510-318-8520.
