Arriving at a moment of heightened social and cultural reckoning\, the exhibition features a dynamic body of new weavings that reflect not only a rich “pluriverse” of influences–interpolated ways of being and expression that span the artist’s personal life\, Bolivian heritage\, and art historical precedent–but also the urgent need to honor and defend cultural plurality in today’s world. \nSin Contar Cincuenta runs from January 17 – March 21\, 2026 with an opening reception and artist talk on January 17\, from 3-5pm.\nFor all inquiries\, contact Johansson Projects at 510-444-9140 or info@johanssonprojects.com URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/sin-contar-cincuenta-miguel-arzabe-solo-show/ LOCATION:Johansson Projects\, 2300 Telegraph Ave\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Artists Talk,Ongoing Exhibitions,Opening Reception ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Miguel-Solo-banner-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Johansson Projects":MAILTO:info@johanssonprojects.com GEO:37.804829;-122.272476 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Johansson Projects 2300 Telegraph Ave Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2300 Telegraph Ave:geo:-122.272476,37.804829 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260304T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260329T170000 DTSTAMP:20260507T053417 CREATED:20260213T172127Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260213T172127Z UID:10004199-1772625600-1774803600@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:Howard Harawitz: Protest Photographer of the 60's DESCRIPTION:Start date: March 4\, 2026\nEnd date: March 29\, 2026 \nYou’re invited to the Grand Gallery’s Artist reception for protest\nphotographer Howard Harawitz March 7 from 1-5pm. \nWith his Leica camera in his hands\, Howard Harawitz\ndocumented protests during the Free Speech\nMovement in Berkeley from 1964-5.

We are questioning our values\, beliefs\, and education. Our national leaders prove to be untrustworthy\, as the media feeds misleading narratives. Our history feels as uncertain as our future. We are having difficulty finding common ground\, the truth\, and what we stand for. Conflict is everywhere. Everyone is asking themselves: “Who Am I?” \nArtist Bio:\nChoctaw\, Viking\, AVChancellor\, Governmental Relations\, emerita. Highlights: national award for bringing together 60 art departments\, creating 125 life-size statues showing how budget cuts negatively impact access and opportunity\, democracy and upward mobility; European Cultural Centre’s Venice Biennale: “Who Are We?”; Spotlight Artist for Richmond Art Center\, “Vulnerability;” “Clay Sustains: Vessels of Change” Palo Alto Art Center. \nPlato Smith’s grandfather was born on the Choctaw Reservation and her orphaned grandmother was born to immigrant parents from Denmark and Sweden. Migration\, immigration\, resettlement and environment/wildlife are key themes that resonate through her creative practice and professional work. She is very committed to acknowledgement of ALL LIFE. Her mother\, Lee Plato Smith\, educated at California School of Fine Arts\, taught her to draw off the edge and never be afraid of making mistakes. \nMarch 6th – 28th\, 2026\nFirst Friday reception: March 6th 5-10pm \nHours:\nSaturdays 1-5pm\nEvery first Friday of the month 5-9pm\notherwise by appointment URL:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/event/who-am-i/ LOCATION:FM Gallery\, 483 25th Street\, Oakland\, CA\, 94612\, United States CATEGORIES:Art Walk,Ongoing Exhibitions,Opening Reception ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oaklandartmurmur.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Leslie-Flyer-ImageOnly-Portrait.jpg GEO:37;-122 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=FM Gallery 483 25th Street Oakland CA 94612 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=483 25th Street:geo:-122,37 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260306T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260306T210000 DTSTAMP:20260507T053417 CREATED:20260213T013229Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260213T013234Z UID:10004197-1772820000-1772830800@oaklandartmurmur.org SUMMARY:First Friday Reception for "Multi-Artist Exhibition -- March-April\, 2026" DESCRIPTION:Join us in welcoming these wonderful Bay Area artists to our first show of 2026.
