Getting the Shot: How Photojournalism Works Today
2026-05-22 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Oakland Photo Workshop, 312 8th St, Oakland, CA, 94607, United States
As AI-generated imagery has enabled the mass spreading of misinformation, the role of photojournalists in documenting reality is more crucial than ever. Yet the economic implosion of the media industry means that there are relatively few full-time positions left, even at major news outlets. Amidst this challenging landscape, how are photojournalists adapting to changing technologies, maintaining their careers, and covering the stories that deserve to be covered?
To answer these questions and more, East Bay Yesterday host Liam O’Donoghue will be moderating a panel discussion with several Bay Area photojournalists. Expect to hear an illuminating conversation on the ethics, logistics, and love of taking pictures for a living.
Featuring:
Amir Aziz, Bay Nature Documentary Photography Fellow and co-founder of Coyote Media Collective
Charles Russo, SF Gate Senior Editor of Photography & Design
Jane Tyska, East Bay Times/Oakland Tribune photojournalist
This event is part of the closing reception for “Visible Labor: The East Bay at Work,” an exhibition of local photographers on display at Oakland Photo Workshop until May 24, 2026.

Artist’s Talk: Saturday, June 13, 2pm with a reading by author Joanne Furio. This show is running Concurrently with Field notes
Gearbox Gallery is pleased to present the 2026 Inner Room juried show winner, Stan Chan. Chan’s installation of artifacts, writings and drawings creates an immersive experience that delves into a personal story of remembrance from his childhood in Oakland. This visual reading of objects and colorful bits gives the viewer a glimpse into our local past through the art of Stan Chan.
Chan says, “Growing up in East Oakland my immigrant parents were able to buy a house in the 1950s. It was a Victorian house and it was my shelter from the outside world. When I was a kid, I dug holes in the walls and in my mattress where I hid my treasures and through the years things accumulated in the nooks and crannies of the house.” It is from these memories that Chan’s installation of treasure boxes and colorful collages emerge.
Stan Chan, is an artist living in San Francisco with deep roots in Oakland. Receiving his MA from CCAC, Chan has shown in many solo and group shows locally and nationally including the Oakland Asian Cultural Center.

Gearbox Gallery is pleased to present Field Notes, an exhibition of new work by Oakland-based artists, sculptor Linda Ellinwood and mixed-media artist Joy Every on view from May 28 through July 3, 2026. The title Field Notes reflects Ellinwood and Every’s approach to art making: attentive, provisional, and deeply rooted in looking. Like notes taken in the field, the works operate as records of experience other than conclusions. Familiar forms dissolve into abstraction as images are altered by time, perception, and the artists’ hands allowing space for ambiguity and personal reflection..

In Your Own Time: Leyla Pekmen + Julien Laporte
2026-06-04 13:00 - 2026-08-01 17:00 | Johansson Projects, 2300 Telegraph Ave, Oakland, CA, 94612, United States
Johansson Projects presents In Your Own Time, a two-person exhibition featuring Turkish painter and sculptor Leyla Pekmen and French painter Julien Laporte. Known for their vivid compositions that illustrate the emotional landscape of their respective regions, both artists consciously embrace the beauty of their surroundings. Steeped in the history of local painting traditions, Pekmen and Laporte reject three-dimensionality, creating narratives through the interplay of color, line, and form.
Leyla Pekmen’s storybook-like compositions are influenced by Ottoman miniature paintings. Originating in the 15th century to narrate the conquests of the ruling class, Pekmen instead opts for scenes of contemporary gathering and recreation. Her jovial paintings examine moments of rest and play that allow space for resilience while living under oppressive systems.
In Pekmen’s work, an idyllic world of larger-than-life flora, gentle waterfalls, and warm oceans ensconces tiny figures. Engaged in activities such as swimming, strolling, and lounging, the figures occupy an infinite, peaceful present. They are lovingly watched over and diligently protected by grand features of the landscape.
Julien Laporte’s sun-dappled paintings of the Mediterranean channel the enduring vitality of the coastal landscape and its interaction with the built environment, both as an ecosystem and as a source of artistic inspiration. Drawing on the vibrant and expressive tradition of the Fauves, Laporte’s work demonstrates an ecological and historical sensitivity to the region, centering on experiential and energetic engagement with the natural world.
Laporte’s thick brushstrokes and unrestrained color palette command attention, inviting the viewer to feel and see the landscape anew. Reducing form to pattern and shape, expressively rendered trees intermingle with flatly colored architectural features. Void of human figuration, Laporte’s immersive landscapes capture moments of stillness along coastal paths, through open windows, along curving stairwells, and at cliff edges.
In Your Own Time will run Thursday, June 4, to Saturday, August 1, 2026. An opening reception will be held Friday, June 5 from 5-8 pm.

Art Murmur First Friday at Werkshack
2026-06-06 18:00 - 21:30 | Werkshack, 481 25th Street, Oakland, CA, 94612, United States
Werkshack is pleased to present “Kummerspeck”, recent Sculpture and Mixed Media work by Bay Area artists Kelly DeFayette and Cybele Gerachis.
Kummerspeck is a German word that translates to “grief bacon” — the weight gained from emotional overeating, or, more broadly, the ways people absorb and deal with discomfort, emotional confusion, and uncertainty.
This show does not illustrate the term as much as it moves through its emotional atmosphere. Across sculpture, painting, and mixed media, the work reflects making sense of creating amidst the pressure to adapt to a world constantly reshaping itself.
It also radiates humor, sarcasm, and material pleasure. The stubborn act of making something by hand while much around you feels out of human scale. There is no substitute for the act of making something – as a way to process, archive, feel, and connect.
The exhibition invites viewers into that shared space between grief and pleasure, vulnerability and spectacle — and asks what kind of meaning can still be built from the fragments around us – the scraps of paper or the bric-a-brac at the thrift store.
Meet the artists during this Oakland Art Murmur First Friday Event!

Wham! Bam! Queer!
2026-06-12 18:00 - 20:00 | East Bay Creative Lab, 558 Bellevue Avenue, Oakland, CA, 94610, United States
An exhibition portraying different perspectives of queer identities: black and brown people, gender non-conforming, femme, masculine, lesbian, gay, and all other members of the LGBTQIA+ community. The exhibition also showcases queer livelihoods depicted through histories of significant moments that define resilience, as well as zines about ways to fight back in our current social climate. Animals and characters represent the many facets of queer people and identities. Queer people are not a monolith, and their stories are unique and nuanced, transcending stereotypes. “We are here! We are queer! We make comics, zines, and illustrations that uplift, empower, and celebrate our communities.”

GearBox Gallery Artists’ Talk with Linda Ellinwood and Joy Every
2026-06-13 14:00 - 15:30 | Gearbox Gallery, 770 West Grand Avenue, Oakland, CA, 94612, United States
GearBox Gallery is hosting an artist talk with Field Notes artists Linda Ellinwood and Joy Every with reading by author Joanne Furio. Furio will also be moderating the talk. Join in on the lively conversation on Saturday, June 13th, 2pm
About Linda Ellinwood:
Ellinwood’s sculptures are created completely from found natural materials. Each one is unexpected, yet simple and evocative. It is evident that she has been working with these materials for many years, developing a vocabulary ,building up a library of materials, landscapes from which to cull; a lifetime of looking, noticing and delighting in natural forms. Ellinwood’s creations are elegant in their simplicity yet manage to elicit an emotional response: delight, humor, contemplation, disinterest. She has exhibited nationally, her work is included incollections throughout the United States. She lives and works in Oakland.
About Joy Every:
Joy Every presents a series of photography-based mixed media works that emerge from direct observation of the natural world. Beginning with photographic impressions of landscape, light, and atmosphere, her process unfolds through intuitive layering, abstraction, and mark making. These works do not document place, but instead trace what lingers in the space between representation and memory, where landscapes become internalized and reimagined. Through subtle shifts in color, texture, and light ,the work evokes horizons, skies, and terrain that feel at once recognizable and elusive—shaped as much by feeling as by geography.
“Joy Every’s latest mixed media works on paper continue her exploration of the natural world through an intimate, tactile lens. Embroidery introduces a measured, meditative pace, where each stitch becomes an act of reverence. The works feel simultaneously fragile and immersive, inviting a closer exploration.”-Lori Austin,Owner/Curator of Lori Austin Gallery, Healdsburg, CA
Joy Every has exhibited nationally, and internationally. Her work is included in public and private collections across the United States. including the Security and Exchange Commission and Embassy of Peru. She lives and works in Oakland ,California.

ACT LIKE YOU'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE, SOLO WORKS BY AMOL RAY
2026-06-13 18:00 - 21:00 | Dear John, 3807 Macarthur Blvd, Oakland, CA, 94619, United States
Join us for the opening reception of Act Like You’ve Been Here Before, a solo exhibition from Oakland-based artist Amol Ray exploring memory, mythology, nostalgia, and the strange art of surviving modern life.
Drawing from Hindu philosophy, childhood memories, internet culture, and found materials, Amol transforms discarded objects, toys, comics, and everyday artifacts into a living mythology, where gods coexist with memes and spiritual lessons hide inside pop culture references.
This body of work asks what happens when we revisit old stories. It’s not to relive them, but to understand them differently.
Expect an evening of art, conversation, food, drinks, and a curated pop-up experience as we celebrate the opening of this playful, poignant, and deeply human collection.
Come curious. Leave changed. Or at least slightly confused in a good way.

Thresholds | Gustave Carlson, Leah Korican & Alec Marin in The Backroom Gallery
2026-06-19 12:00 - 2026-07-25 17:00 | Mercury 20 Gallery, 475 25th Street, Oakland, CA, 94612, United States

Gustave Carlson’s paintings explore the threshold between observation and abstraction through architecture, color, and stillness. Ordinary spaces become contemplative sites suspended between memory and presence, inside and outside. Using simplified forms and atmospheric light, the work reflects on home, nostalgia, and the emotional resonance embedded within the contemporary American landscape.
Leah Korican’s works on paper reside on the threshold of memory. She uses images from childhood stories and ancient glass bottles to express the way memories endure—elusive yet persistent.
In this series of paintings, Alec Marin reimagines scenes from his native South Texas. He centers the people, who, in reshaping themselves and their environment, confront the economic and political forces that seek to control their lives.

Emily Shepard: In Flux
2026-06-19 12:00 - 2026-07-25 17:00 | Mercury 20 Gallery, 475 25th Street, Oakland, CA, 94612, United States
Emily Shepard, “Boundless,” 2026, acrylic, ink, graphite, thread, on unstretched canvas, 72″ x 84″, photo by Sibila Savage
Emily Shepard’s large-scale abstract paintings pull viewers into an immersive, otherworldly space — one of shifting depths, interacting layers, and arched forms that float like portals above restless water. Working on unstretched canvas, she builds richly textured surfaces through gestural mark-making, watery drips, and stitched canvas shapes. Indecipherable loops of script speak to rhythm, breath, and cycles.
Shepard’s work is mirrored by her practice as a year round swimmer in the San Francisco Bay: moving her body through cold water, attuned to tides and currents, releasing into the hypnotic push and pull. Her painting practice and bay swimming share the need for focused attention, awareness of sensation, and internal states. Each artwork, like each swim, is a search for wholeness, presence, and embodied learning.
Bio:
Emily Shepard is a Bay Area painter, born in Boston, Massachusetts. She earned her MFA with distinction from the California College of the Arts where she received the Barclay Simpson Award. She has shown her work locally and nationally, including the Crocker–Kingsley Exhibition at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento. Currently she has three pieces on exhibit in “Voices without Boundaries” at the Sasse Museum of Art in Pomona, CA. Shepard is a Kipaipai Fellow and member of the artist-run gallery, Mercury 20 in Oakland, CA. Her work is included in private and corporate collections. Shepard swims year round without a wetsuit in the San Francisco Bay. The practice of cold-water swimming focuses her senses, challenges her will, and informs her art.

Pat O’Connor: Reclaimed
2026-06-19 12:00 - 2026-07-25 17:00 | Mercury 20 Gallery, 475 25th Street, Oakland, CA, 94612, United States
Pat O’Connor, “Orange Skies Day, 9/9/2020,” 2026, 61″ x 92″, photo Jeanne O’Connor
Pat O’Connor’s work has long explored the intersection of object, time, and narrative. Beginning with paper pulp castings over structures at a former World War II naval base, O’Connor developed a sustained interest in materials marked by history. In her exhibit, Reclaimed, she is drawn to surfaces shaped by wear, weather, and works with cardboard salvaged from the streets, recycling bins, and packaging. Through folding, layering, stitching, printing, and painting, she transforms these fragments and other seemingly incongruent materials into richly layered assemblages. Guided by shifts in patina and form, O’Connor builds surfaces dense with histories, lush harmonies, and active surfaces. Cardboard, humble and impermanent, originates from trees. O’Connor links the material back to the natural world. In some works, she introduces imagery of branches and tree forms, creating both calm and unsettling dialogues between the material’s fragile present and its living origin. In a culture shaped by disposability, O’Connor elevates overlooked materials, inviting viewers to sense the stories embedded in ordinary things as well as imagine ways the industrial and natural worlds might endure together.
Bio:
Pat O’Connor is an artist whose practice spans drawing, painting, assemblage, and site-responsive sculpture. Her work has been exhibited widely, most recently at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, Transmission Gallery in Oakland, the Sasse Museum of Art in Pomona, California, and O’Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley. Her pieces are held in public and private collections, including a public commission at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center. Pat received her BA in Painting and Drawing from UC Davis and pursued graduate study in textile arts at San Francisco State University. Honors include a San Francisco Foundation Grant, the Robert Rauschenberg-hosted Power of Art Award from the Lab School of Washington, D.C., and the Arts Educator of the Year Award from the San Francisco Unified School District. O’Connor has taught widely at notable institutions, including San Francisco State University, UC Berkeley Extension, and the de Young Museum.
