Oaklandish

Just by chance, we had set up our rig near the Oaklandish booth. Up until a few months ago, Oaklandish, a group of creative renegades and urban activists had an eccentric warehouse art gallery/community center/alternative Oakland museum in the produce district in near Jack London Square. The City ousted them from this space. Now that the group is nomadic, they have a stall at this and other farmers markets. Check out their website for a full listing of exciting events this summer, including movies projected on the sides of downtown buildings, weekly games at Ogawa Plaza and short-wave Radio Regatta at Lake Merritt on July 16th. It is also worth reading the recent Express article about Oaklandish, which describes their recent history.

They are one of our project sponsors, so it was great to run into Jeff Hull, the director of Oaklandish. We had chance to chat about how we will collaborate. We plan to be at their Radio Regatta event on the 16^th and other events later this summer. We will keep you posted!
