For over 40 years she has endeavored to give voice to her Japanese cultural roots\, to honor nature and to address political concerns through visual expression and the language of the drum. She began taiko training in 1974 under Grand Master Seiichi Tanaka\, founder of the San Francisco Taiko Dojo\, and went on to become an original performing member of San Jose Taiko and founding member of Somei Yoshino Taiko Ensemble. Ellen has exhibited her art nationally and internationally since 1980 and in 1988 she co-founded 9-11 Studios\, a live/work artist complex in Oakland\, CA. Her work has spanned a range of media from painting to wearable art\, installations\, theatrical costume and set design\, collage and hand cut paper. Her interest in the arts of Asia and Latin America led to her involvement in humanitarian projects and textile research in indigenous communities of Guatemala\, Nicaragua\, Peru and Mexico. She continues to explore the connection between art and culture of these civilizations as they inform her identity as an Asian American woman artist. (Source: https://members.aawaa.net/artists/ellen-bepp) \nEric Murphy is a photographer\, graphic design artist\, independent curator and art collector. He has been supporting the Oakland arts since 1999. He was a long time former staff of Pro Arts Gallery in Oakland for over 10 years and represented bay area artists during that time. He has supported bay area galleries such as Slate Contemporary\, Firehouse Art Center & Harrington Gallery\, Evolve the Gallery. In 2012\, he was Project Manager and Curator for the Oakland-Fukuoka Artist Exchange\, a traveling exhibition of works by Oakland artist\, James Gayles and Fukuoka artist\, Hiroko To in celebration with Oakland and Fukuoka\, Japan’s 50th anniversary as sister cities with collaborative public art projects permanently installed in Fukuoka\, Japan’s sister city gardens and Oakland City Hall. Murphy is currently the Gallery Curator of Joyce Gordon Gallery\, Curatorial Advisor for Tea Roots organization based in Oakland and San Francisco\, Ca and current member of the Oakland Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC).

She is a board member of the Asian American Women Artists Association (AAWAA) and founder and director of ‘Inner Eye Arts\,’ a nonprofit arts organization working for the visibility of Asian American Artists in the SF Bay area. Her work has been exhibited in the US and abroad\, including at the Queens Museum of the Arts\, the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts\, and Aicon Gallery in New York\, the Bishop Museum in Hawaii\, and the Taubman Museum of Art in Virginia\, among others. Her works explore the theme of marginalization\, patriarchy\, misogyny\, and examines the notions of memory. Pallavi received her BFA and MFA (Art History) from the Faculty of Fine Arts Baroda\, and Ph.D. from the National Museum Institute of History of Art\, Museology\, and Conservation\, New Delhi\, India.

(Source: https://www.pallavisharma.com/) \nTomye Neal Madison has obtained her BFA\, MFA\, and many life skills.  Since 1972\, her Graphics and Fine Art have been commissioned\, published in magazines\, have become creations of public art\, and collected. Her Artworks as she speaks of them “are on a scale of lighthearted to puncturing comfort zones”. Her artistic prowess includes calligraphy\, framing\, ink rendering\, mold making\,  painting\, stained glass\, and fused slumped glass. Tomye has ventured into experimental approaches with combining upcycled glass- including wine bottles\, beer bottles\, stained glass and bulls-eye glass. This unique combination emerges as ‘what-nots’ for interior objects to adorn windows\, sculptural portraits\, wearable art\, and more. She has received several Municipal and Individual grants along the way. As a Visual Arts Specialist she teaches youth and adults\, especially teachers. What Tomye shares as an exceptionally talented Visual Artist\, Arts Program Administrator\, Exhibition Curator\, and Workshop Facilitator are distinctive viewpoints that enrich the universal lexicon. She continues contributing to the community as a member of various art organizations\, as an Advisory Committee Member assisting non-profits and a Mentor of Artists (Source: https://sfwomenartists.org/artist/tomye-neal-madison/).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:OACC Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n \n\nSince March 2020\, OACC has struggled with serious financial challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The 22-month (and counting) disruption in public programming and rental revenue has delayed our three-year strategic goals (completed in FY19-20) to advance as a premier cultural hub for our community.\nWe are reaching out to our beloved community\, our donors\, local government agencies\, and philanthropic partners to help OACC sustain its mission in our recovery stage. Although California has eased restrictions as of June 15\, 2021\, we are still aware that COVID-19 challenges are not entirely over. We also recognize the longer-lasting trauma experienced by ourselves and our communities from the escalation of anti-Asian violence since the onset of the pandemic. From March 2020 to September 2021\, 10\,370 anti-Asian racist incidents have been reported to Stop AAPI Hate across the nation. We anticipate that the full recovery of safe gathering spaces for staff\, partners\, and audiences will take time. We are proud of OACC’s 38-year legacy of service involving artists\, schools\, and communities and want to sustain our mission.\n*Fundraising thermometer updated 5/27/22 – funds raised include donations received throughout the month of May at fundraisers\, public programs\, and general donations.\nEach and every action counts. Whatever you can do — monetary or not — will mean a lot. Below is a list of ways you can support us categorized by upcoming fundraising events\, public programs\, and community initiatives in the month of May!\nNote: Refresh your browser if you are having trouble seeing the thumbnails in each tab.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs][vc_tta_section title=”Fundraisers” tab_id=”1651082052966-8bcdac2e-5f31″][mpc_grid_images preset=”default” images=”12282\,12340\,12352\,12395″ cols=”4″ gap=”0″ image_opacity=”100″ effect=”none” image_hover_opacity=”100″ images_links=”https://oacc.cc/event/lotus-link-up-1/\,https://www.mightycause.com/organization/Oakland-Asian-Cultural-Center\,https://www.conamrestaurants.com/events/oakland-cocktail-week-cinco-de-mayo-charity\,https://oacc.cc/event/lotus-link-up-2/”][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Public Programs & Exhibitions” tab_id=”1651082052948-e0a43c1a-13c0″][mpc_grid_images preset=”default” images=”12109\,12042\,12226\,12173\,12291\,12266″ cols=”4″ gap=”0″ image_opacity=”100″ effect=”none” image_hover_opacity=”100″ images_links=”https://oacc.cc/event/textures-of-remembrance-exhibition/\,https://oacc.cc/event/oacc-connex-screen-print/\,https://oacc.cc/event/solidarity-and-resilience-workshops-and-concert-2022/\,https://oacc.cc/event/stories-from-home-screening/\,https://oacc.cc/event/heart-filled-heritage-series-bochan-huy/\,https://oacc.cc/event/all-american-crew-book-talk-2022/”][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Community Collaborations” tab_id=”1651083201011-ceac94e3-a219″][mpc_grid_images preset=”default” images=”12316\,12344\,12346\,12343\,12345″ cols=”4″ gap=”0″ image_opacity=”100″ effect=”none” image_hover_opacity=”100″ images_links=”https://oacc.cc/event/2022-aapi-map-challenge/\,https://www.cutfruitcollective.org/blogs/programs/may-1-aapi-community-festival\,https://apasf.org/\,https://www.artrouteoakland.com/\,https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccgr_oBse6G/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link”][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:The Art of Protest: 1960s-1970s to Now
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Sharat Lin\, this exhibit consists of approximately 40 original silk screen poster prints documenting campus social protest movements. Long before the availability of personal computers\, the most accessible way of making vivid color posters in quantities of a few hundred was silk screen printing. Most of the artists were anonymous students at the University of California campuses at Berkeley and Santa Cruz. The times were different\, but many of the issues – war\, racism\, environment\, human rights\, right to dissent – remain the same\, making the posters resonate among the social issues of today.\n\nAncillary Events*\n\n Opening Reception: Saturday\, October 2\, 2021 at 4-6pm Pacific\n\nCelebrate the launch of “The Art of Protest” at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center with an in-person reception featuring live screen printing demos by SF Poster Syndicate and a Dance of Peace performed by curator Sharat Lin.\n\n\nPrints & Protest: The Legacy of Poster Making in Social Justice Movements: November 5\, 2021 at 5:30-7pm Pacific\n\nSharat Lin (curator of The Art of Protest)\, Art Hazelwood (author of Mission Gráfica: Reflecting a Community in Print)\, Michelle Mouton (contributor to the Mission Gráfica publication) and Joanna Ruckman (founding member of SFMAMA) will discuss the history and legacy of poster printing in the Bay Area and its influence and place in key social justice movements and activism.\n\n\n\n*NOTE: Above events are expected to be held in-person at OACC at this time. Depending on the development of external factors\, primarily COVID-19\, the above events may shift to remote\, virtual events. RSVP to receive the latest updates. \nThis exhibition is presented in partnership with the San Francisco Poster Syndicate and Art Hazelwood. Donations are greatly appreciated to support this program and future OACC activities. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

SUMMARY:Moments of Expression
DESCRIPTION:Support Our Fundraiser: Purchase one of Peter’s paintings between June 20~July 4\, 2021 and 50% of the proceeds will go to OACC! View artworks and purchase HERE.\n \n         \n\n“Staring out the window of the plane I realized that I was painting again. It was only in my mind\, but that was enough to make me want to pick up a brush again. I was being called to paint.” \n \nInsights by Sienna Parker \nWith ebb and flow\, between simplicity and cacophony\, we yearn for moments of calm and ease\, yet we strive for the challenges that often follows a hunger\, We let our past experiences guide us\, while we also desire transformation anew. At times we are profound beings pondering greater meaning\, and in other moments we are but creatures who relent to the base emotions of our unknowing and explorations. \nIn his paintings\, Peter Gee contemplates and expresses these juxtapositions. His paintings contain an intentionality drawing from decades of dedicated mastery and honing of skill. He approaches his artistic practice with a Zen mind allowing forms\, flourishes\, and accents to occur without explicit analysis. It is with this approach that allows each of Gee’s paintings to tell different stories that together form their ever changing narrative.\n\nIn the present body of work “Moments of Expression”\, pieces mostly completed within the past five years\, Peter Gee invites viewers into his exploration of mind and spirit. Whether alluding to his childhood memory of childhood Chinese school and the repetitive practice of calligraphy\, to exploring the boundaries of common concepts like circular discourse\, Gee’s paintings insist that identity cannot be segmented and categorized. Rather\, his art elaborates on the harmonies with contrasts that compose life\, and allow viewers to share in this experience.

SUMMARY:San Francisco Beginnings of Korean Immigration (1902-1920)
DESCRIPTION:Click on the banner above to access the virtual exhibit. \nWatch the exhibition overview featuring curator Rosemarie Nahm and special guest Gail Whang: \n \nThis exhibit examines the lesser-known history of the early Korean immigrant community that began right here in the Bay Area. As Japan rose to power in Korea in the early 1900s\, Koreans from diverse backgrounds fled their country and landed in San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Memory Vignettes & Poem-Paintings Series
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]UPDATE: This exhibition has been extended to June 30\, 2020. \n“As a woman\, Hindu\, Muslim\, artist\, and mother\, I work to create harmony by expressing the universality of humanity through paintings\, sculpture\, and calligraphy…I use my artistic voice to break down the barriers that divide in order to foster peace and understanding.” – Salma Arastu \nSalma Arastu started these series in 2005 driving inspiration from her childhood memories from Rajasthan\, India and stories of youth spent in Hyderabad\, India\, Iran and Kuwait. The paintings from these series are three dimensional\, mixed media on Board. Predominantly square in shape these are smaller in size but innovative works that are driving inspiration from Indo-Persian miniature paintings and Folk art while pushing the boundaries of form\, composition\, and narrative to emphasize the messages visually. \nAfter moving to San Francisco Bay area in 2007 she did several paintings of small homes in the bay Area with courtyards and Cherry Blossoms in the yards which she says were reminiscent of homes back in India.  Later she adopted same soft colors palette\, creating process and technique to translate Rumi’s spiritual poems in paintings. She says these works offer relaxation\, meditative moods. \nPress:\nLos Angeles Times – With canvas and Quran\, one artist aims to make Islamic calligraphy a universal language By Kimberly Winston[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_btn title=”VIEW VIRTUAL GALLERY” color=”warning” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Foacc.cc%2Fvirtual-galleries%2F%20|title:Virtual%20Galleries|target:%20_blank|”][vc_btn title=”RETURN TO EXHIBITIONS” color=”warning” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Foacc.cc%2Foacc-exhibitions%2F|title:Virtual%20Galleries|target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Portraits of Oakland Chinatown
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nA special exhibition celebrating Black History Month. \nSee Oakland Chinatown through Leon Kennedy’s distinctive artistic style. \n“My dream is to connect to all the people’s dreams.” \nLeon Kennedy’s Art lies somewhere between the struggles of his community and the faith that guides them. When viewed\, the observer is directed away from the struggle and toward salvation along a path Mr. Kennedy has constructed. Considered one of the top self-taught artists in the country\, Leon’s inspiration and ability is achieved through divine intervention. “My gift is not natural\, it’s spiritual. Like Moses; my ideas come from God.” \nRegardless of the year\, the subject\, the medium\, or the material; each work is undeniably his own. Perhaps no other artist has a more recognizable style than Leon Kennedy. Learn more about Leon at leonkennedy.com. \n  \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, February 8th from 6-8pm. \n  \nCo-sponsored by Oakland Asian Cultural Center and Oakland Public Library. \nEnjoy live painting sessions with Leon Kennedy at Oakland Public Libraries:\nhttp://oaklandlibrary.org/events/main-library/live-painting-sessions-artist-leon-kennedy[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”R.S.V.P.

SUMMARY:The Spirit of Bali Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”6676″ img_size=”1000×400″ alignment=”center”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Opening Reception: Friday\, June 21\, 2019\, 6:00 – 8:00 pm \n  \nI Madé Moja comes from Batuan\, a traditional arts village in Bali\, known for its classical music and dance\, fine woodcarving and unique painting style.  These time-honored traditions are passed from one generation to the next and continue to thrive\, despite great changes in the culture and economy of Bali. Moja’s father\, renowned painter I Madé Budi\, passed on the amazing ink and watercolor technique of Batuanto his son\, who has taken it in new directions here in the U.S. The technique starts with a pen and ink sketch\, which is then shaded with Chinese ink for a 3-dimensional effect. Watercolor or acrylic paint is added in a series of layers or “washes” and finished with bright highlights to complete the sense of depth and dimension.  The compositions are often very detailed and complex\, drawing from Hindu mythology\, traditional village life\, and nature. This style and caliber of Balinese painting is rarely seen here in the United States. Moja’s work has been shown internationally and featured in numerous books detailing the art and culture of Bali.  Since moving to the Bay Area\, Moja has branched out artistically.  In addition to teaching and experimenting with new themes in his painting. Moja has also worked extensively with ShadowLight Productions\, a non-profit theater company based in San Francisco that takes its inspiration from classical Indonesian “wayang kulit” (shadow puppet theater).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Our Bojagi: Bojagi Artworks from Claire Lilienthal School
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Our Bojagi: Bojagi Artworks from Claire Lilienthal School \nBojagi is a general term for all wrapping cloths in Korea. By sewing together small\, leftover cloths of various shapes and skillfully juxtaposing vibrant colors\, the unknown makers of traditional bojagi created exciting\, strikingly contemporary designs. Students in the Korean immersion program at Claire Lilienthal School create bojagi as one of their cultural activities working with local textile artist Youngmin Lee. Some students have been making bojagi for several years\, preserving and transferring their teacher’s knowledge of the traditional techniques and familiar forms as shown in this exhibition. \n  \nClaire Lilienthal K-8 Alternative School inspires each student to achieve their maximum potential in an academically\, culturally\, and socially inclusive environment. The school hosts Northern California’s only public school Korean language immersion program. Welcoming both native Korean speaking students as well as English speakers\, the Korean Immersion Program (KIP) seeks to achieve full bilingualism and biliteracy in Korean and English. KIP teachers\, all bilingual\, provide KIP students with the same academic content instruction as that provided General Education students\, but do so in both languages consistent with the proven dual-path language immersion model. KIP is a K-5 Korean/English Two-Way Immersion educational program designed to help students develop the ability to speak\, read and write in two languages at the same time. Along with proven academic and cognitive benefits\, developing bilingual skills enriches a child’s lived experience by exposing them to different cultures early in life. \n  \nCo-presented by the Oakland Asian Cultural Center and Claire Lilienthal School.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:The Hinabi Project:  Weaving Peace and Dreams ~ Textile Arts of Mindanao
DESCRIPTION:EXHIBITION:  October 5\, 2018 through November 4\, 2018 ~ Free and open to the public \nOPENING RECEPTION & CURATOR TALK:  Friday\, October 5\, 2018 ~ Free and open to the public \n The Hinabi Project (THP) brings to the East Bay the unique textile art of the weaving communities of Mindanao Mandaya\, Bagobo\, Higaonon\, T’boli\, Blaan\, Yakan\, Tausug\, Maranao and the Maguindanao. Traditional weaving was circumscribed by ritual and ceremonies of the life-cycle birth\, marriage and death. The fabrics produced were meant to address these ceremonial needs. Weaving was a contemplative and peaceful endeavor for the women of these communities. Textiles also serve as peace offerings to resolve community conflicts and uneasy alliances.  With the new demands of political determinism\, new ideologies\, and the consumer technologies — what typically would be a peaceful activity has been disrupted but the indigenous weavers continued their craft throughout the twist and turns of the country’s political fortunes. Weaving was and still has been for most\, a means for additional income to an essentially peasant/farmer subsistence economy. Now\, they also struggle between the tenets of traditional weaving customs and the demands of the local and tourist market while working in social conditions less conducive to weaving. With this disruption\, the continuity of the indigenous weaving tradition\, the passing on of its heritable designs and technique\, and the self-pride and worth of work is a cause for grave concern. Through this exhibit\, The Hinabi Project hopes to highlight the possibility of evolving newer concepts of design and work\, thereby\, encourage other designers\, weaving artisans\, and scholars to talk about their future direction. \nPresented by Philippine American Writers and Artists’ (PAWA) The Hinabi Project in collaboration with National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) of the Philippines\, Non-Timber Forest Products-Exchange Programme (NTFP-EP) CustomMade Crafts Center\, the Philippine Department of Tourism in San Francisco\, and the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: The Forbidden Book: The Philippine-American War in Political Cartoons Presented and Curated by: Abraham Ignacio
DESCRIPTION:THE FORBIDDEN BOOK uses political cartoons from 1898 to 1906 to chronicle a little-known war between the United States and the Philippines that lasted over 15 years\, in which 126\,000 U.S. troops were deployed and hundreds of thousands of Filipinos were killed. Today\, few Americans know about the brutal suppression of Philippine independence or the anti-war movement led by the likes of writer Mark Twain\, peace activist Jane Addams\, journalist Joseph Pulitzer\, steel magnate Andrew Carnegie\, labor leader Samuel Gompers\, and Moorfield Storey\, first president of the NAACP. These cartoons glorify manifest destiny; portray Filipinos\, Puerto Ricans\, Cubans\, Hawaiians\, Chamorros\, and other colonials as dark-skinned savages in need of civilization; and were used to justify a war at a time when three African Americans–on average–were lynched every week across the south\, and when the Supreme Court approved the “separate but equal” doctrine.
