Through the lens of celebrated Native photographer Dugan Aguilar\, this exhibition offers a first look at his vibrant collection exploring the tapestry of contemporary Native Californian life. \n\n\n\nAguilar’s work\, spanning from 1982 till his death in 2018\, defies colonial narratives\, showcasing an unwavering Indigenous presence and dynamic cultural practices. From breathtaking California landscapes to intimate gatherings\, ceremonies\, basket weaving artistry\, and portraits of Native war veterans\, Aguilar’s photographs document a rich and nuanced array of California Native experiences. Each image is a testament to moments of profound cultural significance\, weaving together stories of resilience and unyielding vitality that define contemporary Native life. \n\n\n\nMore than simple documents\, Aguilar’s photographs radiate a sense of quiet but determined celebration and resistance. Drawing from Aguilar’s extensive photographic archive\, gifted to OMCA by his family in 2021\, this collection comes to life through video\, audio\, and narratives from Native artists\, activists\, elders\, and community members. Join us in celebrating this significant collection and experience the diverse voices of California’s Native peoples as they shape the present and future. \n\n\n\nTickets for Special Exhibition access are available here for guests\, and are free for Museum Members. \n\n\n\n\nopening day TICKETs\n\n\n\nFree MEMBER TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMajor support for Born of the Bear Dance: Dugan Aguilar’s Photographs of Native California is provided by The Oakland Museum Women’s Board. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccessibility \n\n\n\nOakland Museum of California (OMCA) is committed to providing programs that are accessible\, welcoming\, and inclusive of our community.

DESCRIPTION:Member Preview Opening Celebration for Mildred Howard: Poetics of Memory\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.
