Too many shootings in error and in haste - in the name of the law. Resistance and solidarity through creative community action.

HEALING JUSTICE: Exploring Public Art Practices Symposium, April 29 2023 / Oakland Museum of California / Angela Hennessy

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.

Hosted 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.

This 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.
