The Art of Storytelling exhibit series celebrates the East Bay’s rich cultural and artistic histories and dynamic changing demographics through multi – generational storytelling and testimonials articulated through a variety of visual media.
On February 16th California Humanities celebrated the launch of our second exhibit in the series featuring the work of Oakland-based artist ad community organizer, Favianna Rodriguez. These vibrant and powerful pieces help create a dialogue about gender, race, identity, and immigration.
Favianna’s work is “a powerful blend of digital art, traditional printmaking mediums, and an intimate view of the things that are important to all of humanity – love, interdependence, and kindness.” The exhibit features Rodriguez’s work that not only shines a light on women and immigrant communities, but also empowers them. Contact nbalram@calhum.org to schedule a private appointment to view the exhibit (Mon-Fri 9:00 – 4:00 PM)
