SUMMARY:OAKLAND–Exhibit: The Audacity to Believe
DESCRIPTION:OAKLAND- Come experience “The Audacity to Believe”\, a tribute to the life\, legacy\, and impact of an Oakland giant: Dr. Marcus A. Foster\, the urban education activist and superhero who gave his life for the children of Oakland.  \nDr. Marcus A. Foster was the definition of a community superhero. The first Black Superintendent of any major school system in the United States: Oakland Unified\, he was a trailblazer whose life was cut short in 1973 due to his courage to bring innovation and accountability to the school system. He encouraged and challenged teachers and administrators to have “the audacity to believe” in the inherent talents of all young people\, and pioneered a “Master Plan Citizens Committee” tasking each neighborhood of the city to draw up their community-led visions as part of the district’s strategic plan. His dedication to youth and community made him a fierce advocate and beloved leader. As a teacher who began her first year during his tenure shared\, his presence and work made it so “We knew we were on our way to excellence.” His assassination cut that work short and left a community in mourning. Curated by local artist and storyteller Patanisha Williams as part of the Marcus Foster Education Institute’s 50th anniversary celebratory events\, “The Audacity to Believe” pays tribute to his life and impact\, and creates a long-needed space for the community to remember and heal. \nOn view: July 31 – November 30 2023  \nLocation: The historic African American Museum and Library of Oakland is located at 659 14th Street\, Oakland. The Museum and Library wheelchair accessible and is open and free to the public at the following hours: \nMonday – Thursday 10 am – 5:30 pm \nFriday 12 pm – 5:30 pm \nSaturday 10 am – 5:30 pm \nFor more information\, visit: https://www.marcusfoster.org/events/audacity-to-believe-exhibit \nThe Marcus Foster Education Institute (MFEI) was established by Dr. Marcus A. Foster in 1973 prior to his passing. 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of MFEI and our work engaging community to see improved conditions\, experiences\, and outcomes for K-12 and postsecondary BIPOC and first-generation students.

SUMMARY:SAN BERNARDINO–Exhibit: Afróntalo
DESCRIPTION: 21 Afrolatiné Californians and 4 Afro-Mexican communities in their own words  \nSAN BERNARDINO—One in four Latin Americans has African ancestry. And yet\, there is a general deficit of knowledge regarding the presence and prevalence of blackness throughout the Americas. This is more than a simple matter of obscurity. It is a problem of erasure\, invisibility and dislocation. Afróntalo introduces you to four communities in Mexico and twenty-one Californians\, all in their own words\, to explore the depth and breadth of Afrolatiné histories\, cultures and identities. \nWhy is the exhibit called Afróntalo?  \n“Afróntalo” in Spanish means “Face It.” This reflects the intention of our exhibition to recognize the erasure of Afro-descendants and the prevalence of anti-blackness in the Americas. Additional meaning can be found in breaking the title into two separate phrases\, “Afro” and “Ntalo.” The first phrase\, “Afro\,” reflects the Afro-descendant focus of the exhibition. The second phrase “Ntalo\,” has at least three meanings in African languages. In Xitsonga\, spoken in parts of Zimbabwe and Eswatini\, ntalo means “abundance.” In Lingala\, a language spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo\, ntalo means “value.” Finally in Ganda\, the primary language spoken in Uganda\, ntalo means “war.” Collectively\, these three words reflect the impetus of Afróntalo to make clear the widespread and deep roots of Afro-descendants in the Americas\, the incredible importance of Afro-descendant contributions and populations historically and today\, and the need for action to bring attention to these matters and the contemporary needs of Afro-descendant communities. \nWhere: California State University\, San Bernardino | Anthropology Museum (SB-306)5500 University Parkway\, San Bernardino\, CA 92407 \nExhibit Runs September 21\, 2023 – June 19\, 2024\nFree and open to the public \nAdditional events and public programs part of the Afrolatine California project: \n \nLearn more at on the project’s website. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.

SUMMARY:SAN FRANCISCO–Exhibit: Contemporary Indigenous Voices of California’s South Coast Range
DESCRIPTION:Above: Gregg Castro (T’rowt’raahl Salinan\, Rumsien and Ramaytush Ohlone)\, culture director\, Association of Ramaytush Ohlone. Photograph by Kirti Bassendine \nSANTA CRUZ—Contemporary Indigenous Voices of California’s South Coast Range: Enduring Relationships with the Land is an exhibition of portraits by Kirti Bassendine (b. 1962)\, featuring Indigenous community members from the South Coast Range: the San Francisco peninsula through the Santa Cruz mountains\, Monterey Bay\, and lower Salinan Valley. Bassendine’s photographs are accompanied by powerful personal statements from Native community members calling attention to cultural connections to the land\, rematriation (restoring the relationship between Indigenous people and their ancestral land)\, and climate change. As an artist\, Bassendine has always been intrigued by human relationships — especially how they impact the discovery of identity and belonging within one’s culture and the wider world. By bringing so many Indigenous voices together\, she creates a unique experience for audiences to engage with these ideas themselves. \nThis exhibit is organized in consultation with the Association of Ramaytush Ohlone\, and in collaboration with the Confederated Villages of Lisjan\, Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area\, Tamien Nation\, Indian Canyon Mutsun Band of Costanoan-Ohlone People\, Amah Mutsun Tribal Band of Costanoan/Ohlone\, the Rumsien Ohlone Tribal Community\, Esselen Tribe of Monterey County\, and the Salinan Tribe of San Luis Obispo and Monterey Counties. \nWhere: de Young Museum | Kimball Education Gallery | Golden Gate Park\, 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive\, San Francisco\, CA 94118 \nRuns: October 7–January 27\, 2023 \nFREE admission to the Kimball Education Gallery \nLearn more and purchase tickets at the de Young’s website. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.

SUMMARY:SAN DIEGO–HOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY AT SDAFF
DESCRIPTION:Official Selection\, 2023 True/False Film Festival\nOfficial Selection\, 2023 San Francisco International Film Festival \nSAN DIEGO—Join a special screening and Q&A of HOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY at the 24th Annual San Diego Asian Film Festival!  \nAsian American Panorama| USA | Documentary | Mandarin\, English | Subtitled | 2023 | 117 mins \nWhere: Edwards Mira Mesa | 10733 Westview Pkwy\, San Diego\, CA 92126 \nWhen: Friday\, November 3\, 2023 | 7:35 pm \nTickets: $15. Purchase here. \nSynopsis\, written by Kim-Anh Schreiber: Dotted across the suburban sprawl of San Gabriel\, California are so-called “maternity hotels\,” all-inclusive birth tourism packages for expectant Chinese families. Offering plane tickets\, third-trimester accommodations\, hospital selection (across a spectrum of all-cash price points)\, and final mailing of a social security card back home\, hotel brokers enable birth to a child on American soil. Through a series of observational vignettes\, HOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY traces a network of actors across the supply chain of this shadow economy: motel managers\, nannies\, companions\, and expectant mothers themselves – two whose parallel stories heartbreakingly intersect at the film’s center. \nMoving through nondescript\, Southern California apartments\, hospital rooms\, and chain stores\, the actors depicted become strange bedfellows in the literal and metaphorical waystations of another country. Director Leslie Tai thrusts her viewer into the immediacy of being in-between nations\, life stages\, labor\, and birth. Unfolding conversations unveil the myriad negotiations each of these actors make as they navigate the byzantine\, bureaucratic systems of American healthcare\, law\, and citizenship\, often from the most vulnerable of positions. \nHOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY is a portrait of the Chinese repurposing of the American dream\, accessed through the unexpected intersection of birth and commerce. We witness two countries seen through the eyes of the other\, fixed upon a vanishing point of illusory opportunities. \nFilmmaker scheduled to attend.\nScreening to be followed by Q&A. \nThis project is supported by a California Documentary Project Grant.

DESCRIPTION:MALIBU—With support from California Humanities\, Pepperdine Libraries’ Preserving the History of South Los Angeles initiative has recorded oral history interviews as part of the broader effort to preserve the voices and lived experiences of members of the African American community in South Los Angeles. We spoke to elders in the community who come from a faith background\, especially one rooted in the Church of Christ tradition\, and who have uplifted their community through their work. Most of their interview participants also have a connection to Pepperdine or its former campus\, which was in South Los Angeles from 1937-1981. Please join a community lunch and discussion with interviewees to celebrate the launch of an official website for this project. \nWhere: Payson Library | Surfboard Room | 24255 Pacific Coast Highway\, Malibu\, CA 90263 \nWhen: Thursday\, December 7\, 2023\, 12-1 pm \nFREE\, register on this page. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.
