Oakland Summer School’s Winter Gathering

This weekend we’re hosting the Oakland Summer School’s Winter Gathering, which brings together a wealth of Bay Area authors, artists and activists for conversations about community healing and lessons from our past. Presenters include Shane Bauer, whose book “American Prison” was recently named one of The New York Times’ ten-best books of the year; Tongo Eisen-Martin, recipient of the 2018 American Book Award for his book Heaven is All Goodbyes; Wendy Trevino, whose book Cruel Fiction was selected as one of Artforum’s best books of 2018; and Sadie Barnette, whose art has been featured in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, and many other publications.
