Upcoming Events
SETTING THE TABLE: Opening Exhibition
Oakland Bloom Open Test Kitchen
SETTING THE TABLE: A Sonic Installation of Food, Belonging & Migration is an interactive exhibition featuring nine audio stories from immigrant, refugee, and diasporic community members living in the East Bay, on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the Chechenyo-speaking Ohlone and Bay Miwok peoples.
This table of stories and food memories draws connections to Mexico, Panama, Nigeria, Laos, the Philippines, Thailand, Jamaica, Pakistan, Iran, Guatemala, and the African American diaspora. This project is grounded in the belief that food brings us together, that gathering can be joyful, and that there is room for everyone.
Please stop by during this happy hour-style gathering to experience the exhibit and chat with project collaborators! Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.

Community Farewell to Voice of Witness
Virtual
Join us for a fond farewell to our beloved oral history organization, Voice of Witness.
After over 15 years of amplifying vital human rights stories and bringing oral history education across the country to students of all ages, Voice of Witness will be closing its operations at the end of May. We are so grateful to our incredible community who has supported us throughout the years and made our work possible, including our narrators, editors, donors, community partners, past staff members, and educational partners.
We invite you to join us for this farewell sendoff, where we will share reflections and favorite memories from our years of programming and collaboration. Oral history is about connecting through the transformative power of storytelling and we are so honored to have connected with each of you.
