“It demands great spiritual resilience not to hate the hater whose foot is on your neck, and an even greater miracle of perception and charity not to teach your child to hate.” - James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time • • • It is in this spirit that we announce “The Fire Next Time: A Call and Response”- a year long arts, culture and community engagement initiative launching on 8.25.18, that is part cultural think tank + exhibition + instigation. TFNT: A Call and Response takes its name and inspiration from the life and legacy of James Baldwin and the band of artists, actors, instigators and agitators who worked together to advance freedom, human rights, racial + social justice all over the world. • • • We are so ever grateful to have the time and resources to dig in & explore this legacy with you, our beloved community. Stay tuned as we share more about the project and how to get involved over the coming weeks. • • This work is only made possible by the presence, participation and generosity of the people and funders like the Akonadi Foundation (@akonadi_oakland ). • Happy Birthday James Baldwin. May we forever drink from your wellspring of creative thought, self-determination, righteous indignation, and Black radical imagination.

We said, what we said! And we Told y’all tomorrow was gonna be a party, a celebration of #SIGNIFY. Announcing our very special guest @queens_d_light who will be performing her latest, Flavor of Green. Doors at 6pm, come thru and get blessed. Performance kicks off at 8pm, open til 9pm. #BettiOno #Signify #Queenofzamunda #Flavorofgreen #Thehouseofmalico

Tonight, WE stand together against Anti-Black racism, white male violence, supremacy and patriarchy the world over. The enemy has nothing good to say. Sing Her Name: A Heart Offering for Nia ...and the world. #RP @redbaycoffee

And the #BettiOno love keeps coming, big thanks to Jean Lee and @sfbartable for the feature of our space, @colorfulkierra ‘s show #SIGNIFY, alongside our sister space @asharaekundayogallery

Still beaming with pride and love at the @essence mag feature on us as one of the 5 reasons to vacay in Oakland. Give thanks 🙏🏾

Kierra Jenae Johnson creates artwork that uncovers and amplifies hidden narratives. #Signify is a series of staged portraits photographed with a focus on hands, to depict communicative and performative gestures associated with Black cultural identify. See this work, “Spirit” today for #SaturdayStroll Open til 5.

“Rest” by Kierra Johnson | See this and the rest of her incredible solo exhibition #SIGNIFY tonight at Oakland First Friday. Open til 8!

“And then what happened? 1-3. One of the most iconic pieces ( a triptych ) from Kierra Johnson’s #Signify

Y’all this impromptu visit from the Association of Black Psychologists to see #Signify made our day! 🖤🖤🖤

“ Got You.” An expression that's short for: 1. I got your back. 2. I got you covered. 3. I got you protected | photo by @colorfulkierra #signify on view thru July 21st
