In \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.jonrubin.net/museum-visitor-wallet-photos/\">Pictures Collected from Museum Visitors Wallets\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, Harrell Fletcher and Jon Rubin interviewed SFMOMA museum visitors about the photographs they happened to carry with them. Ten were enlarged and became part of the museum’s permanent collection. \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.learningtoloveyoumore.com/\">Learning to Love You More,\u003c/a>\u003c/em> by Harrell Fletcher and Miranda July, was an early, pre-social-media website where participants completed assignments — such as “Draw a scene from a movie that made you cry” — and viewed each other’s’ submissions. In her commission \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfmoma.org/exhib_events/events/series/1337\">Shadowshop,\u003c/a>\u003c/em> Stephanie Syjuco turned an SFMOMA gallery into a store in which local artists and museum visitors were invited to explore themes of capitalism, commodity and counterfeit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The Oakland Police Department hopes it will help build some badly needed bridges to the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 40 people are gathered in a classroom at an Oakland police substation. Police Chief Sean Whent thanks attendees and starts laying out some of the department's policies and its shortcomings. He tells the class that for a long time police success in this city was measured by arrest rates, which he says has led to mass incarceration, destabilized neighborhoods and communities that are no safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whent goes so far as to say that, in the past, the Oakland Police Department was an occupying force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people in the neighborhood know who’s up to no good.

One thing it's been trying for years is the \u003ca href=\"http://safeoakland.com/safety-tips/protect-your-community/oakland-police-department-programs\">Citizens Police Academy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's now a waiting list of people who want to learn the nuts and bolts of policing. The academy covers topics ranging from dispatch and patrol to policies around use of force. The Oakland Police Department hopes it will help build some badly needed bridges to the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 40 people are gathered in a classroom at an Oakland police substation. Police Chief Sean Whent thanks attendees and starts laying out some of the department's policies and its shortcomings. He tells the class that for a long time police success in this city was measured by arrest rates, which he says has led to mass incarceration, destabilized neighborhoods and communities that are no safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whent goes so far as to say that, in the past, the Oakland Police Department was an occupying force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people in the neighborhood know who’s up to no good. And so when they see the police stopping the wrong people, they come to one of two conclusions: that the police are either incompetent or corrupt.

"content": "\u003cp>Oakland's deadliest fire in nearly three years continues to have an impact on the friends of the two artists who died in the blaze, dozens of displaced residents, and several businesses that have been forced to shut down for weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators believe the March 21 three-alarm blaze at 669 24th St. in West Oakland was probably caused accidentally, after one of the men found dead in the unit where the fire started fell asleep while smoking, said Oakland Deputy Fire Chief Darin White.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire officials want to know if one of the men was intoxicated. \"We do believe it's possible that alcohol or other drugs could have played a part in the individuals' inability to find themselves able to remove themselves from the situation,\" White said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire department got word of the blaze at around 3 a.m. but did not see smoke or fire when they arrived minutes later. However, as crews searched the two-story brick building, a smoke alarm began to sound and smoke started coming out the top of the door leading to Apartment D on the second floor, White said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters broke into the unit and \"encountered an apartment charged with black smoke all the way to the floor,\" White said. \"Heavy flame was coming from the back of the apartment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The building is connected to an adjacent structure at 674 23rd St. that houses two publishing firms and a printing company. They share a common wall, and the fire spread rapidly to the building next door. The two structures started out as one space -- a National Guard armory built in 1930 -- but they were eventually divided into live/work units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firefighters' aggressive fire attack helped save the second building, White said. But the blaze killed 27-year-old Davis Letona and 36-year-old Daniel \"Moe\" Thomas, roommates in Apartment D. It destroyed a large part of 669 24th St. and gutted several units on the second floor of 674 23rd St.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire marks the first time since June 2012 that Oakland experienced at least two fatalities in a fire, according to Cynthia Perkins, the Oakland Fire Department's chief of staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cause of the blaze -- smoking -- is fairly common, and federal officials say it's the leading cause of fatal residential fires. According to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/statistics/res_bldg_fire_estimates.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Fire Administration's latest report\u003c/a>, 330 people throughout the country died in residential blazes caused by smoking in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, one out of every four people who dies in smoking-related fires is not the smoker who started the fire, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nfpa.org/research/reports-and-statistics/fire-causes/smoking-materials\" target=\"_blank\">report \u003c/a>by the National Fire Protection Association, a nonprofit fire prevention advocacy organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire officials have not said which man in the unit where the blaze began was smoking before it started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Letona, who perished in the fire, had moved into the apartment in the weeks before the blaze, according to Jonah Strauss, a tenant and recording engineer who lived and worked below the two men, as well as Alex Ramos, one of Letona's close friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Letona was a digital videographer. \"His main passion was cinema,\" said Ramos, who organized an \u003ca href=\"http://www.gofundme.com/pjk2p0\" target=\"_blank\">online fundraising campaign\u003c/a> to pay for a recent memorial. Some of his work can be seen on his website, \u003ca href=\"https://davisletona.wordpress.com/\" target=\"_blank\">davislatona.wordpress.com\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas, the second victim, had \u003ca href=\"http://wesplittheatom.com/\" target=\"_blank\">artwork \u003c/a>featured in a number of exhibitions and collections in Oakland and San Francisco over the last six years, including the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mgart.com/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">McLoughlin Gallery\u003c/a> in Union Square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Alameda County Coroner's Office, Letona's cause of death was asphyxia and smoke inhalation. The cause of death for Thomas is under investigation pending toxicology tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, the fire displaced 34 residents. They are having a tough time finding housing, said Chuck Smuckler, a spokesman for the Red Cross in Alameda County, which has been coordinating aid for the displaced residents with officials at Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf's office and the Salvation Army.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the Bay Area we have such a problem with affordable housing,\" Smuckler said in an interview. \"When people suddenly get displaced, finding replacement housing that is affordable and accessible ... that's the key issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Red Cross provided the residents who were turned out by the blaze with three nights free at local motels, but it is difficult for them to find long-term transitional housing or permanent places to live, Smuckler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire has also worsened what were already poor relations between the owner of the building and about a dozen of its residents, said Strauss in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strauss said the landlord has done nothing to help him and the other tenants and has effectively asked the residents to give up returning to the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The owner/landlord is Kim Marienthal, a realtor at a Coldwell Banker residential brokerage firm in Berkeley. Marienthal said that he feels very sorry for the plight of his tenants. \"But the process to rebuild after a disaster like this is slow and arduous,\" he said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He did not respond to complaints brought up by tenants. \"I am advised by legal counsel not to discuss these matters,\" Marienthal said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strauss also said there were no sprinklers in the building, something fire and building officials as well as the landlord have yet to corroborate. There were reports that some of the smoke detectors were not working at the time of the fire, but several fire officials have said they have no evidence to suggest that an alarm was not operating properly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strauss' independent music recording business has been hit hard by the fire, and he has begun an online fundraising campaign at \u003ca href=\"http://www.gofundme.com/shipwreckoakland\" target=\"_blank\">www.gofundme.com/shipwreckoakland\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smoke and water used to battle the blaze damaged a well-known radical book publishing firm, AK Press, and two other businesses, 1984 Printing and Omnidawn, all in the adjacent structure on 23rd Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thousands of AK Press's books are waterlogged, said Charles Weigl, one of the publisher's members, in a phone interview from the collective's office, which has been red-tagged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The road ahead is unclear except that I'm sure that we will persevere,\" Weigl said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AK Press has insurance, but it's not certain how much the policy will cover damages from the fire. The publisher will probably not make back the money it needs to have the books it had in stock before the blaze, Weigl said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The collective is one of the oldest continuously running anarchist presses in the country. \"A lot of people first come to understand about anarchism and anti-state, communist literature through AK Press,\" Weigl said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years the worker-owned publisher has sent funds and free books to young radical bookstores to help them get started. Some of the people AK Press has helped over the years have been sending money to the collective. In the weeks after the fire, it has raised around $50,000 through an online campaign at \u003ca href=\"http://www.gofundme.com/akpressfire\" target=\"_blank\">gofundme.com/akpressfire\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some of that karma is coming back to us,\" Weigl said. The money AK Press has received is going to replenish its books, but also to help the building's residents as well as 1984 Printing and Omnidawn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Weigl at AK Press and Amy Watson, who runs 1984, expressed frustration that the city red-tagged their businesses, forcing them to shut down until building officials deem their space safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also emphasized that their building had above the normal level of fire safety systems in place. In fact, it had 180 smoke detectors, Watson and Weigl said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1984 resumed printing just days ago, according to the online fundraising campaign for the independent shop, \u003ca href=\"http://www.gofundme.com/1984printing\" target=\"_blank\">gofundme.com/1984printing\u003c/a>, which has raised some $11,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're certainly not business as usual,\" Watson said of 1984. \"But, we're moving forward.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Omnidawn, a poetry publisher, experienced very minor water damage, according to its manager, Ken Keegan. The business lost only about two dozen water-damaged books.\u003c/p>\n\n",

However, as crews searched the two-story brick building, a smoke alarm began to sound and smoke started coming out the top of the door leading to Apartment D on the second floor, White said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters broke into the unit and \"encountered an apartment charged with black smoke all the way to the floor,\" White said. \"Heavy flame was coming from the back of the apartment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They share a common wall, and the fire spread rapidly to the building next door. The two structures started out as one space -- a National Guard armory built in 1930 -- but they were eventually divided into live/work units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The firefighters' aggressive fire attack helped save the second building, White said. But the blaze killed 27-year-old Davis Letona and 36-year-old Daniel \"Moe\" Thomas, roommates in Apartment D. It destroyed a large part of 669 24th St. and gutted several units on the second floor of 674 23rd St.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire marks the first time since June 2012 that Oakland experienced at least two fatalities in a fire, according to Cynthia Perkins, the Oakland Fire Department's chief of staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cause of the blaze -- smoking -- is fairly common, and federal officials say it's the leading cause of fatal residential fires. According to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/statistics/res_bldg_fire_estimates.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Fire Administration's latest report\u003c/a>, 330 people throughout the country died in residential blazes caused by smoking in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, one out of every four people who dies in smoking-related fires is not the smoker who started the fire, according to a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nfpa.org/research/reports-and-statistics/fire-causes/smoking-materials\" target=\"_blank\">report \u003c/a>by the National Fire Protection Association, a nonprofit fire prevention advocacy organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire officials have not said which man in the unit where the blaze began was smoking before it started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Letona, who perished in the fire, had moved into the apartment in the weeks before the blaze, according to Jonah Strauss, a tenant and recording engineer who lived and worked below the two men, as well as Alex Ramos, one of Letona's close friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Letona was a digital videographer. \"His main passion was cinema,\" said Ramos, who organized an \u003ca href=\"http://www.gofundme.com/pjk2p0\" target=\"_blank\">online fundraising campaign\u003c/a> to pay for a recent memorial. Some of his work can be seen on his website, \u003ca href=\"https://davisletona.wordpress.com/\" target=\"_blank\">davislatona.wordpress.com\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas, the second victim, had \u003ca href=\"http://wesplittheatom.com/\" target=\"_blank\">artwork \u003c/a>featured in a number of exhibitions and collections in Oakland and San Francisco over the last six years, including the \u003ca href=\"http://www.mgart.com/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">McLoughlin Gallery\u003c/a> in Union Square.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Alameda County Coroner's Office, Letona's cause of death was asphyxia and smoke inhalation. The cause of death for Thomas is under investigation pending toxicology tests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, the fire displaced 34 residents. They are having a tough time finding housing, said Chuck Smuckler, a spokesman for the Red Cross in Alameda County, which has been coordinating aid for the displaced residents with officials at Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf's office and the Salvation Army.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the Bay Area we have such a problem with affordable housing,\" Smuckler said in an interview. \"When people suddenly get displaced, finding replacement housing that is affordable and accessible ... that's the key issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Red Cross provided the residents who were turned out by the blaze with three nights free at local motels, but it is difficult for them to find long-term transitional housing or permanent places to live, Smuckler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire has also worsened what were already poor relations between the owner of the building and about a dozen of its residents, said Strauss in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strauss said the landlord has done nothing to help him and the other tenants and has effectively asked the residents to give up returning to the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The owner/landlord is Kim Marienthal, a realtor at a Coldwell Banker residential brokerage firm in Berkeley. Marienthal said that he feels very sorry for the plight of his tenants. \"But the process to rebuild after a disaster like this is slow and arduous,\" he said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He did not respond to complaints brought up by tenants. \"I am advised by legal counsel not to discuss these matters,\" Marienthal said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strauss also said there were no sprinklers in the building, something fire and building officials as well as the landlord have yet to corroborate. There were reports that some of the smoke detectors were not working at the time of the fire, but several fire officials have said they have no evidence to suggest that an alarm was not operating properly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strauss' independent music recording business has been hit hard by the fire, and he has begun an online fundraising campaign at \u003ca href=\"http://www.gofundme.com/shipwreckoakland\" target=\"_blank\">www.gofundme.com/shipwreckoakland\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smoke and water used to battle the blaze damaged a well-known radical book publishing firm, AK Press, and two other businesses, 1984 Printing and Omnidawn, all in the adjacent structure on 23rd Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thousands of AK Press's books are waterlogged, said Charles Weigl, one of the publisher's members, in a phone interview from the collective's office, which has been red-tagged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The road ahead is unclear except that I'm sure that we will persevere,\" Weigl said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AK Press has insurance, but it's not certain how much the policy will cover damages from the fire. The publisher will probably not make back the money it needs to have the books it had in stock before the blaze, Weigl said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The collective is one of the oldest continuously running anarchist presses in the country. \"A lot of people first come to understand about anarchism and anti-state, communist literature through AK Press,\" Weigl said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years the worker-owned publisher has sent funds and free books to young radical bookstores to help them get started. Some of the people AK Press has helped over the years have been sending money to the collective. In the weeks after the fire, it has raised around $50,000 through an online campaign at \u003ca href=\"http://www.gofundme.com/akpressfire\" target=\"_blank\">gofundme.com/akpressfire\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Some of that karma is coming back to us,\" Weigl said. The money AK Press has received is going to replenish its books, but also to help the building's residents as well as 1984 Printing and Omnidawn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Weigl at AK Press and Amy Watson, who runs 1984, expressed frustration that the city red-tagged their businesses, forcing them to shut down until building officials deem their space safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also emphasized that their building had above the normal level of fire safety systems in place. In fact, it had 180 smoke detectors, Watson and Weigl said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1984 resumed printing just days ago, according to the online fundraising campaign for the independent shop, \u003ca href=\"http://www.gofundme.com/1984printing\" target=\"_blank\">gofundme.com/1984printing\u003c/a>, which has raised some $11,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're certainly not business as usual,\" Watson said of 1984. \"But, we're moving forward.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Because for many years, we were not allowed to,\" said Veronica Hernandez, one of the teachers who's been here the longest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This school year, Mary Chapa was selected to be one of 10 “\u003ca href=\"http://turnaroundarts.pcah.gov/\">turnaround arts\u003c/a>” schools in the state. It’s a national initiative, led by Michelle Obama, to improve academic achievement at low-performing schools by flooding them with art supplies and teaching artists. The initiative started in 2011 at eight schools and has now expanded to 35 schools across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-profile artists adopt each school. Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith adopted Mary Chapa Academy. He’s donated dozens of drums and guitars for music class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, though, music teacher Christopher Lopez has the kids wailing away on the backs of chairs. Students are preparing a musical production of \"The Jungle Book\" this spring, and the drum club is going to do a pre-show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re going to be using trashcans, we’re going to be using 5-gallon buckets, and we’re going to be using cement support molds, as drums,\" said Lopez. \"So, the idea that percussion is everything: These guys can make music anywhere.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All 900 kids in the school get music once a week with Lopez. You can find him at any time of day teaching the kids to tune their voices to match a note played on an instrument, or to sing scales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Introducing Art to All Classes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers are trying out other kinds of art in their classrooms, too. The turnaround arts program has been in place at Mary Chapa only for a few months, but all the teachers have had some training. If you peek in the classrooms, you can find fifth-graders doing freeze theater tableaus of the Revolutionary War, or second-graders painting oil spills for a unit on the environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fourth-graders in Sarah Betz's class have made haiku poetry boxes and topographic maps with beans.

Up until this school year, most teachers had never done art in their classroom at all, ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At first some of the teachers were like, 'I don’t even want to pick up a colored crayon, ’cause I don’t want to get in trouble.'

It’s a national initiative, led by Michelle Obama, to improve academic achievement at low-performing schools by flooding them with art supplies and teaching artists. The initiative started in 2011 at eight schools and has now expanded to 35 schools across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-profile artists adopt each school. Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith adopted Mary Chapa Academy.

Students are preparing a musical production of \"The Jungle Book\" this spring, and the drum club is going to do a pre-show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We’re going to be using trashcans, we’re going to be using 5-gallon buckets, and we’re going to be using cement support molds, as drums,\" said Lopez. \"So, the idea that percussion is everything: These guys can make music anywhere.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All 900 kids in the school get music once a week with Lopez. You can find him at any time of day teaching the kids to tune their voices to match a note played on an instrument, or to sing scales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Introducing Art to All Classes\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers are trying out other kinds of art in their classrooms, too. The turnaround arts program has been in place at Mary Chapa only for a few months, but all the teachers have had some training.

"content": "\u003cp>It's Tuesday afternoon, and a couple dozen people are standing in a circle holding hands on what looks like a traffic median in North Oakland, saying grace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frances Michelle Moore, locally known as \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/auntifrances\">Aunti Frances\u003c/a>, asks for silence so the group can say a blessing. She's serving up a free hot meal, as she's done every week for the past five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crowd is mostly older black men. And most of them come here every Tuesday. They're also here at Driver Plaza -- \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/@37.845785,-122.272705,3a,75y,327.42h,81.15t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sOYCZCQPlkN7JN0xt9ydQZQ!2e0\">a tiny wedge of a park\u003c/a> between Stanford Avenue and Adeline Street, at 61st Street -- throughout the week.

Some people are homeless, some people are indoors, but we’re all low income. So hey, we got to eat and what better way to show community but by breaking bread?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Moore isn’t around, the scene can be a little different. How different? That’s a matter of whom you ask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I pick up the garbage every day when I go out there. Today, there was four pint bottles. I picked up some broken glass and things like that,” says Fiona Wilmot, who moved to the neighborhood last year. Wilmot is part of a wave of new arrivals. Many came as the mortgage meltdown made homes more affordable in Oakland, especially compared with San Francisco's high prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I often see people drinking with open containers,\" says Wilmot, who lives only a few houses away from the plaza. \"After about an hour and a half, two hours, things get very loud. ... It may calm down sometimes after dark, sometimes not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s Department of Public Works has received almost two dozen complaints about the plaza in the past year and a half, and that doesn’t include complaints handled by other departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To address some of those issues, Moore and some supporters paid to have a portable toilet installed at the plaza. But they didn’t have a permit. In fact, the city doesn't grant permits for permanent portable toilets, according to Joe Devries, assistant to Oakland’s city administrator. So, the city has forced the toilet's removal on two occasions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Short of having not filled out a permit or going through any of the right procedures even for a temporary Porta-Potty ... we kinda need to see that before we could even entertain something long term,\" Devries said. \"And based on the neighbors' concerns, I don’t know that they would get it granted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10380979\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13336_Francis-barks-bullhorn-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10380979\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13336_Francis-barks-bullhorn-qut-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Aunti Frances Moore led a City Hall protest last fall demanding a portable toilet at Driver Plaza.\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13336_Francis-barks-bullhorn-qut-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13336_Francis-barks-bullhorn-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13336_Francis-barks-bullhorn-qut.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aunti Frances Moore led a City Hall protest last fall demanding a portable toilet at Driver Plaza. \u003ccite>(Andrew Stelzer/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In October, Moore and others protested outside City Hall, chanting, \"We want the Porta-Potty back!\" and holding signs saying, \"Where can we pee?\" The group has met with city officials, but thus far there are no plans for a temporary or permanent toilet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For plaza regulars like Dwight Hill, the toilet isn't really the issue. It’s about the continued existence of their longtime cultural space, in a neighborhood that dropped from 53 percent African-American in 2000 to 36 percent in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a losing thing. We’re gonna lose,“ said Hill, while digging into some of Moore's roasted potatoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why would anyone want a Porta-Potty out in front of their apartment complex, or their condo? Why would anyone want someone who ain’t got a job, ain’t generating no money, ain’t contributing nothing to society, just hanging around?” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people out here on Driver Plaza feel that the newer, often non-black, residents have a vision for the neighborhood that doesn’t include them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stuck somewhere in the middle is Nate Williams, director at \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/genoastreet/?ref=br_tf\">Santa Fe CAN\u003c/a>, the local neighborhood association. He would like to see the space improved for the whole community, with trees, benches and tables. But when he looked into the permits and legal requirements, he put those plans on hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sometimes feels inevitable about gentrification, and there’s always gonna be tension between the newer and the older residents that are around,” Williams says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sometimes I think those issues are much bigger than we, as residents or volunteers, can handle,” he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a rainy afternoon, Kedar Akbar was one of at least a half-dozen men sitting on benches and rolling office chairs. He said that when he was in fifth grade, there were some barbecues and a play structure out here. Now he comes to learn from his elders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of wisdom that is also here that you can’t get in books or you can’t Google it.

That’s a matter of whom you ask.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I pick up the garbage every day when I go out there. Today, there was four pint bottles. I picked up some broken glass and things like that,” says Fiona Wilmot, who moved to the neighborhood last year. Wilmot is part of a wave of new arrivals. Many came as the mortgage meltdown made homes more affordable in Oakland, especially compared with San Francisco's high prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I often see people drinking with open containers,\" says Wilmot, who lives only a few houses away from the plaza. \"After about an hour and a half, two hours, things get very loud. ... It may calm down sometimes after dark, sometimes not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s Department of Public Works has received almost two dozen complaints about the plaza in the past year and a half, and that doesn’t include complaints handled by other departments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To address some of those issues, Moore and some supporters paid to have a portable toilet installed at the plaza. But they didn’t have a permit. In fact, the city doesn't grant permits for permanent portable toilets, according to Joe Devries, assistant to Oakland’s city administrator. So, the city has forced the toilet's removal on two occasions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Short of having not filled out a permit or going through any of the right procedures even for a temporary Porta-Potty ... we kinda need to see that before we could even entertain something long term,\" Devries said. \"And based on the neighbors' concerns, I don’t know that they would get it granted.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10380979\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13336_Francis-barks-bullhorn-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10380979\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13336_Francis-barks-bullhorn-qut-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"Aunti Frances Moore led a City Hall protest last fall demanding a portable toilet at Driver Plaza.\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13336_Francis-barks-bullhorn-qut-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13336_Francis-barks-bullhorn-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2014/12/RS13336_Francis-barks-bullhorn-qut.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aunti Frances Moore led a City Hall protest last fall demanding a portable toilet at Driver Plaza. \u003ccite>(Andrew Stelzer/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In October, Moore and others protested outside City Hall, chanting, \"We want the Porta-Potty back!\" and holding signs saying, \"Where can we pee?\" The group has met with city officials, but thus far there are no plans for a temporary or permanent toilet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For plaza regulars like Dwight Hill, the toilet isn't really the issue. It’s about the continued existence of their longtime cultural space, in a neighborhood that dropped from 53 percent African-American in 2000 to 36 percent in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a losing thing. We’re gonna lose,“ said Hill, while digging into some of Moore's roasted potatoes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why would anyone want a Porta-Potty out in front of their apartment complex, or their condo? Why would anyone want someone who ain’t got a job, ain’t generating no money, ain’t contributing nothing to society, just hanging around?” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of people out here on Driver Plaza feel that the newer, often non-black, residents have a vision for the neighborhood that doesn’t include them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stuck somewhere in the middle is Nate Williams, director at \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/genoastreet/?ref=br_tf\">Santa Fe CAN\u003c/a>, the local neighborhood association. He would like to see the space improved for the whole community, with trees, benches and tables. But when he looked into the permits and legal requirements, he put those plans on hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sometimes feels inevitable about gentrification, and there’s always gonna be tension between the newer and the older residents that are around,” Williams says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sometimes I think those issues are much bigger than we, as residents or volunteers, can handle,” he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a rainy afternoon, Kedar Akbar was one of at least a half-dozen men sitting on benches and rolling office chairs. He said that when he was in fifth grade, there were some barbecues and a play structure out here. Now he comes to learn from his elders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of wisdom that is also here that you can’t get in books or you can’t Google it.

Their experimental programming even extends to their version of a fundraising auction, in which artist-facilitated experiences replace objects.

In a unique installation challenge, the gallery’s largest wall is floor-to-ceiling brick, prompting a level of site-specific problem-solving in each exhibition.

It’s also a hub of creative activity; along with exhibitions that tread that delicious line between craft and art, Watson organizes workshops covering everything from loom weaving to butter knife carving about once a month.

One year into their programming, they’ve hosted an artist-in-residence from Spain, facilitated a neighborhood mural, exhibited photographs of ad hoc local planters and showed drawings by Bay Area conceptual artist Lowell Darling, to name a few. Their mission, to intermingle international, local, well-known, self-taught and underexposed artists, is true to their name. Except in this case, the “random” parts are always, unexpectedly, the parts you didn’t know you were looking for.

Whether you choose to orbit Lake Merritt clockwise or counterclockwise, you’ll wind up just across the street from the picturesque Grand Lake Theatre on a strip full of diversions. Backstock is tucked in the two back rooms of Oak Common, a retail store with a highly curated selection of clothing, accessories, fancy soaps and plant koozies. Operating since Sept. 2013, the gallery shows local and formerly local artists (Lauren Douglas, Anzfer Farms, Simon Pyle), dedicated to the “under-represented genres” of film, video, installation and experimental work. Next up: an exhibition of photographs by recent CCA MFA alum Kristine Eudey, opening Jan. 25.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Anywhere!\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10304107\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10304107\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/01/DGW_Four-Generations-825x417.jpg\" alt=\"Doug Garth Williams, <i>Four Generations</i>, 2012; Courtesy Block Gallery\" width=\"640\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/01/DGW_Four-Generations-825x417.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/01/DGW_Four-Generations-825x417-400x201.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Doug Garth Williams, \u003ci>Four Generations\u003c/i>, 2012; Courtesy Block Gallery\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>BLOCK GALLERY\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch5>\u003ca href=\"http://www.block-gallery.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">block-gallery.com\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>BLOCK GALLERY could be anywhere, but chances are it’s somewhere BART friendly.

Their experimental programming even extends to their version of a fundraising auction, in which artist-facilitated experiences replace objects.

It’s also a hub of creative activity; along with exhibitions that tread that delicious line between craft and art, Watson organizes workshops covering everything from loom weaving to butter knife carving about once a month.

Their mission, to intermingle international, local, well-known, self-taught and underexposed artists, is true to their name. Except in this case, the “random” parts are always, unexpectedly, the parts you didn’t know you were looking for.
