Exhibit A: Oakland is an interactive data exhibition and multi modal media project highlighting systemic antiblack outcomes in the city. Working in partnership with the Department of Race and Equity in Oakland, and a host of community partners, Exhibit A illustrates the deep antiblack outcomes produced in the Race and Equity Indicators Report and other related data sources. Exhibit A features interactive visualizations created by a group of artists, that include digital interfaces, AR experiences, and provocative imagery. Additional aspects include original songs, short films, photographs and interactive workshops, designed to prompt imagination about the future of Oakland.
Experience the vibrant celebration of Oakland life with hip hop, art, and community at the Licensed Living Festival, a unique event honoring the legacy of the Black Panther Party and uniting 18 communities in a day of participatory art and harmony.
