More than a retrospective\, Continuum presents MoAD’s impact on the Bay Area’s cultural landscape and reveals its growing global reach. Through archival materials\, artworks\, and stories from programs like the Emerging Artist Program and MoAD in the Classroom\, the exhibition honors MoAD’s legacy as a catalyst for Black creativity. Organized thematically and chronologically\, it traces the museum’s evolution and invites reflection on its expanding role in shaping the art of the African Diaspora. \n\n\n\nUNBOUND: Art\, Blackness & the Universe explores the intersections of Blackness and the cosmos. Curated by Key Jo Lee\, MoAD’s Chief of Curatorial Affairs and Public Programs\, the exhibition reimagines Blackness as infinite\, mysterious\, and cosmically rich. Featuring global artists such as Lorna Simpson\, Rashaad Newsome\, Gustavo Nazareno\, Harmonia Rosales\, and Didier William\, the show spans painting\, sculpture\, installation\, and video. Organized around three themes\, Geo-Cartographic\, Religio-Mythic\, and Techno-Cyborgian\, UNBOUND moves through earthly and celestial terrains. More than an exhibition\, it is a philosophical and sensory inquiry that invites visitors to imagine Blackness as a boundless\, creative cosmology of transformation and becoming. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor gallery admission\, simply present your OMCA membership card at the Visitor Experience welcome counter and enjoy.   \n\n\n\nQuestion or comments?

In their homeland\, where women have been banned from solo singing since 1979\, they have carried their voices beyond borders with unwavering resolve. Their music\, born of resilience and longing\, has touched audiences across the world as a testament to cultural memory and the enduring power of artistic freedom. \n\n\n\nThrough long-standing collaborations with the Norwegian label Kirkelig Kulturverksted and producer-poet Erik Hillestad\, as well as composer-arranger Atabak Elyasi\, they have released numerous acclaimed and award-winning recordings. Their artistic journey has led to encounters with musicians and ensembles such as Kronos Quartet\, Tord Gustavsen\, Mighty Sam McClain\, Bridget Kibbey\, Amsterdam Sinfonietta\, the Skruk Choir\, Zar Theatre\, and the Grotowski Institute—creating a rich tapestry where Persian music converses with the sounds of the world. \n\n\n\nAbout Atabak Elyasi:\n\n\n\nAtabak Elyasi is an Iranian-American musician and composer based in Berkeley and a master of the Persian setar—the instrument most commonly used to accompany the voice in traditional Persian music. Atabak has played and performed setar for the majority of his life and has been teaching this sacred instrument for at least 30 years\, passing on this lineage to innumerable students. Atabak has worked on several renowned musical projects with 2018 ACTA mentor artist Mahsa Vahdat and her sister Marjan as a setar player\, composer\, and musical arranger\, as well as arranging pieces for the Skruk Choir in Norway and the Kronos Quartet. \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.
