At the Oakland Museum of California, a new kind of Museum exhibition is celebrating the vibrant cultural practices of the Pacific Islands, and the historic relationships, past and present, between the Pacific Islands and California. Turning the familiar idea of California as the western frontier on its head and re-positioning the state as "the East Coast of the Pacific," Pacific Worlds weaves together never-before-seen pieces from the Oakland Museum of California's collections along with contemporary California Pacific Islander artwork and community voices. The exhibition examines the deep and many-layered histories and the on-going connections of Pacific Islanders to California - a place many Pacific Islander people call home.
Programs and events throughout the run of the exhibition, such as the upcoming screening of PIC-funded film Skin Stories on November 27, bring more ways for visitors to connect to the exhibition's themes and stories. Learn more about Pacific Worlds, on view at OMCA through January 3, 2016.
