Featuring

Malcom Wallace of East Bay Cycling

Rohan DaCosta of Chinatown Solidarity

We’re excited to host these two artists for the inaugural show opening our new gallery space Oakland Photo Workshop. Their work represents a perfect blend of personal vision and community expression that we’re striving for.

Rohan DaCosta’s images are taken from a march he organized in response to the murders of eight people of Asian descent in Atlanta, Georgia. “Gordon Parks once described his camera as a weapon, presumably against oppression. In my own humble way, using the skills that I possess, I wanted to show the Asian community that Black people see and acknowledge them today and we recognize the journey of their ancestors as well.” Rohan’s full statement, as well as images and poetry from the march, are on display at Oakland Photo Workshop.

Malcolm Wallace has been involved with the Bay Area bicycle scene for many years. "My background is in social work and community development, so I have a passion for connecting with people on an emotional level and building communities. My style is influenced by Hip Hop culture and my environment...I just try to put some of myself into every image and keep it raw while reflecting my people. "

EBPCO has teamed up with talented high school students from the Oakland School for the Arts Digital Media program to present The Future, an exhibition of photographs exploring the students' varied interpretations of this theme.

This show is a culmination of a series of student portfolio reviews in January and February during which EBPCO's Education Coordinator Brooks Fletcher guided the students through the stages of the discussing and refining their work. These efforts produced some seriously stunning and thought provoking work that we can't wait for you to see!
