OMCA Announces Public Programs and Events for 11月 2023
Oakland Museum of California (OMCA) has announced its schedule of public programs for 11月, comprising a screening of Misty Copeland’s film, Flower, with a live dance performance by Babatunji Johnson and panel discussion, plus expanded Gallery Chats.
Spotlight Sundays: Film screening of Misty Copeland’s Flower with Dance Performance and Panel Talk
星期日, 11月 19, 10- 11:15 am
James Moore Theater
Tickets: $1-$30 sliding scale
Join us for a live dance performance, film screening and discussion about the power of arts in solving housing insecurity. This multi-disciplinary program begins with a solo performance by Babatunji Johnson, the dancer/actor featured in the film Flower, followed by a screening of the film, produced by and starring world-renowned ballerina and trailblazer Misty Copeland. Flower is a powerful story told through dance and movement, with a mission to bring critical attention to the housing crisis in the San Francisco Bay Area. The event concludes with an inspiring conversation between Johnson and local filmmaker and journalist Caron Creighton, who is currently directing a documentary about Oakland’s largest homeless encampment. The discussion will delve into issues of housing insecurity, art as a vehicle for change, and housing advocacy programs that center dignity and human rights.
Join us for no-host 星期日 brunch in OMCA’s Town Fare after the program.

大厅
探索奇卡诺艺术家马拉基亚斯-蒙托亚（Malaquías Montoya）的生活影响，他作为公共服务艺术家、活动家和社区领袖的遗产激励着奇卡诺社区内外的年轻一代。蒙托亚的海报、平面印刷品和壁画突出了政治和社会正义问题，在近五十年的时间里帮助确定了奇卡诺人的身份。

本次展览将通过照片、历史和家族简历、艺术家的早期作品以及受蒙托亚影响的多代艺术家（包括胡里奥-萨尔加多、伊莉丝-多伊尔-马丁内斯、莱斯利-洛佩斯、伊斯雷尔-坎波斯和阿雷利-埃尔南德斯）的当代艺术作品，探讨成为长者的意义。展出时间：2023 年 10 月 6 日至 2024 年 6 月 30 日。
