展览与画廊

Mildred Howard: Poetics of Memory is the first major museum exhibition to celebrate the work of beloved Bay Area artist Mildred Howard. Spanning Howard’s five-decade practice, Poetics of Memory brings together her renowned collages, found-object sculptures, and immersive installations that explore memory, identity, and the African American experience. New and never-before-seen pieces punctuate the exhibition, while archival materials from Howard’s Oakland studio illuminate the cultural currents and lived experiences that shape her practice.

OMCA馆藏的这批新入藏作品，既展现了当下的艺术与文化，也映照出正在书写的历史。此次展览中的作品源自OMCA全新的收藏流程，旨在回应那些影响奥克兰及加利福尼亚州社区的时下议题。 《收藏当下》标志着我们正逐步摆脱传统博物馆的收藏优先事项，展示了我们如何将机构与多元社区群体及声音的联系置于核心位置。这一持续更新的展览将呈现加州艺术家、活动家及其他人士如何通过多种方式争取文化空间、质疑社会规范、获取话语权，并积极参与探讨我们这个时代的重要议题。

今年春天，加州奥克兰博物馆（OMCA）将通过一场名为《仙境75周年：魔法的传承》的展览，重点呈现仙境（Fairyland）的悠久历史。该展览将于2025年4月4日开幕，恰逢“OMCA周五之夜”活动重启，邀请观众深入了解仙境的历史、演变及其历久弥新的魔力。 

我们在日常生活中都会使用地图--导航公共交通，寻找吃饭的地方，并将天气模式或政治观点等大数据可视化。但你是否考虑过地图告诉我们的更深层次的故事？

通过加州历史画廊的一个引人注目的补充，揭开加州黑人权力运动的历史。作为对2016年广受欢迎的展览 "人民的力量 "的回应。这个装置展示了加州黑人反种族主义活动家支持其社区和挑战美国政府的创造性方式。

Radical Blooms: The Unexpected Power of Flowers draws on the OMCA’s interdisciplinary collection to reveal flowers as potent symbols of beauty and expression as well as resistance, healing, and connection. Through artworks, clothing, posters, furniture, and photographs, the exhibition explores how flowers have shaped California’s political, social, environmental, and cultural histories. Reflecting stories of ecological exchange, ritual, protest, and a reminder of life’s fleeting nature, Radical Blooms uplifts flowers as an expression of California’s signature creativity, hope, and radical spirit.

Can looking closely at photographs change what we see, know, and feel about this history? Japanese artist Masaki Fujihata explores this very question in BeHere / 1942: A New Lens on the Japanese American Incarceration. Through immersive installations of historic images and augmented reality (AR) experiences, the exhibition brings visitors into the moments of 1942—before Japanese Americans in Oakland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles were transported to concentration camps during World War II.
