About The Event
Join us on Monday, January 20, when the Cleveland Museum of Art opens its doors for a free daylong celebration honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
In Alice Street, two artists form an unlikely partnership to paint their most ambitious mural to date in Oakland’s downtown, ground zero for gentrification. Their site is situated at a unique intersection where Chinese and Afro-Diasporic communities face the imminent threat of displacement and gentrification. Fraught with challenges, the mural is finally completed to great fanfare and a vibrant celebration. Soon after the mural paint dries, a luxury condo is planned that will obstruct the art and cultural history. The community decides to fight back.
More information about Spencer Wilkinson and Alice Street can be found on the film’s website.
