DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day of performances, presentations, and conversations that 
 will explore public art practices that are pushing the boundaries of what 
 it means to heal in the midst of challenging times.\n\nHosted at the 
 Oakland Museum of California, the Kenneth Rainin Foundation's Exploring 
 Public Art Practices Symposium is a biennial, one-day conference that 
 brings together California artists from a range of practices to investigate 
 the power of art in the public realm.\n\nThis year's theme, HEALING 
 JUSTICE, offers a poignant and timely topic to the Symposium. After three 
 years of a global pandemic, ongoing racial unrest, climate disasters, and a 
 divisive political landscape, these public artists are turning to practices 
 that offer us opportunities to engage in communal healing.\n\nFeatured 
 presenters include Dohee Lee, Keisha Turner of Deep Waters Dance, Alex 
 Bledsoe, The Oakland Lowdown, Angela Hennessy, Cara Levine, Hector Dionicio 
 Mendoza, Damien McDuffie, Andreina Maldonado, The Future IDs Project, and a 
 curated community building food experience hosted by La Cocina and 
 Wahpepah's Kitchen.\n\nThis program is curated and produced by the 
 Learning, Experience, and Programming Team at OMCA.\nLaunched in 2016, the 
 Exploring Public Art Practices Symposium is supported by the Kenneth Rainin 
 Foundation and is part of its Open Spaces Program. This grantmaking program 
 has awarded over $2.8 million to enable artists to create temporary, 
 place-based public art projects that are responsive to issues relevant to 
 communities in San Francisco and Oakland.\n\nKenneth Rainin Foundation is 
 dedicated to enhancing quality of life by championing and sustaining the 
 arts, promoting early childhood literacy and supporting research to cure 
 chronic disease.\n\n$25.\n
